Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Additional Commissioner Khandaker Mahit Uddin claimed that miscreants set fire to the Benapole Express train. 

He made the claim while talking to reporters at the spot in Gopibagh where the train fire incident occurred. 

Mohit said that whoever has done this will be found out and brought under the law. 

Responding to a question, he said that many sabotages have been prevented because there are preparations to prevent sabotage. Not only Bangladesh, no country in the world can completely prevent sabotage. 

He said Dhaka Metropolitan Police arrested about 40 saboteurs. Some more saboteurs have been identified and will be arrested soon.
