The Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has recovered a motorbike, a helmet and a fake number plate used in the attack on Osman Hadi, spokesperson of Inquilab Moncho, from the capital’s Bonolota Residential Area.
The motorcycle, helmet and fake number plate were recovered in abandoned condition at around 8:45am on Sunday from the Bonolota Residential Area, DMP's DC (media) Talebur Rahman said on Wednesday afternoon.
According to the sources, a CTTC team, after examining CCTV footage, found that the number plate of the motorbike used in the attack had been changed.
Acting on intelligence information, the team recovered the bike and the helmet from the ground-floor parking area of a building in Bonolota Residential Area under Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station.
Later, the fake number plate was recovered from inside a manhole where it had been abandoned.
CTTC sources said an in-depth investigation was carried out to identify the ownership of the motorbike.
The bike changed hands eight times before it was purchased in the name of Mainuddin Islam using the national identity card of Md Kabir, an associate of Faisal, the prime suspect in the attack, CTTC sources said.
The recovered goods have been handed over to the Detective Branch (DB) for further legal action, the sources added.
