Police have intensified security at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) where the wounded publisher of slain write-blogger Avijit Roy is undergoing treatment after an attack.
Ahmedur Rashid Chowdhury Tutul, who runs publishing house ‘Shuddhwaswar’, was injured along with blogger Tarek Rahim and writer Ranadipam Basu in the attack at his office in Lalmatia on Saturday afternoon.
They were admitted to the DMCH in critical condition.
Faisal Arefin Dipan, another publisher of Roy, was hacked to death at his office in Shahbagh hours after the attack on Tutul. DMP Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia ordered to strengthen the security when he visited DMCH after the murder of Dipan. Fellow bloggers, writers, publishers, and activists were there along with the relatives and friends of the victims.
bdnews24.com Staff Correspondent Golam Mujtaba Dhruba said the DMP chief ordered to set up check posts and to install metal detectors at the hospital.
Four bloggers, including Avijit, were hacked to death this year. Police say they suspect Ansarullah Bangla Team carried out the murders.
The banned Islamist outfit has recently in an email warned the media against publishing news on bloggers.
