Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Wednesday said a same group of miscreants is carrying out isolated incidents of sabotage using different names.
He was talking to journalists at Enam Medical College Hospital after visiting industrial police members who were attacked by some unidentified miscreants at Ashulia.
He said “A same group is committing these incidents taking different names. At different times, they are using the names of Ansarullah Bangla Team, IS, Al-Qaeda etc.”
An industrial police named Mukul was killed in an attack by miscreants at the check-post at Nabinagar-Baraipara Road in Ashulia on Wednesday morning. Four other policemen were injured in the incident. They were taken to Enam Medical College Hospital for treatment.
The Home Minister and senior police officers went to see the injured policemen soon after the incident.
Awami League joint general secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif said the government is sincere about holding the trial of the recent killing incidents.
“Due to limitations of resources and proper technology, law enforcing agencies sometimes can’t complete investigation within a short time. It doesn’t mean that the government is not sincere to bring the perpetrators to book,” he said.
He said, those who want to hamper the development of the country and make the government unstable are involved in the foreigner killings.
Names of some BNP leaders have been found from the arrestees in the foreigner killing incidents after the primary interrogation, he said.
He said, the government is committed to bring the bloggers’ killers to book, Hanif added. “Hitting a blogger is similar to hitting a free thinkers.”
Hanif also claimed Bangladeshi groups who are marked as militants are sheltered by BNP-Jamaat alliance. These groups are carrying out subversive activities throughout the country, he added.
“BNP-Jamaat is two sides of the same coin. There is no difference between the two groups,” Hanif alleged.
Acting Inspector General of Police Zabed Patwari said, the attack on police are pre-planned.
He said the Savar and Gabtali incidents are similar kind of criminal activities. The two incidents are co-related. “We think an organized terror group is responsible for both of incidents.”
He said “Our special branch is investigating the incidents very sincerely to expose the criminals.
He said “We are determined to take the criminals under justice. It is very important to identify the actual criminals to ensure security of the country.”
