Deputy Inspector General of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Md Mainul Hasan has said each and every person responsible for Narayanganj mosque blast will be brought under speedy trial, based on evidence collected during the investigation.
“We will complete the investigation with the highest level of professionalism and skills,” he said while talking to media after visiting Pashchim Talla Baitus Salat Mosque in Narayanganj where a deadly explosion happened on September 4.
At least 39 people were injured in the explosion and of them, 31 died so far.
“On completion of the investigation, we will submit the report to a lower court,”said the DIG, who along with his team, visited the mosque around 11:00am today. Asked about primary findings from their investigation, he said it seems that the explosion occurred due to accumulated gas. It can be confirmed after further investigation, he added.
Evidence is being collected from the spot, he said, adding, “We will talk to locals and the evidence will be examined at the forensic department. We will complete investigation within the shortest possible time after examining the evidence and other probe reports.”
It is suspected that the explosion was caused due to an accumulation of leaked gas — from an underground Titas Gas pipeline — that came in contact with an electric spark.
Titas Gas has suspended eight of its officials and staffers in connection with the blast. During digging, officials noticed two holes in an underground gas pipe adjacent to the mosque.
