The Criminal Investigation Department on Monday claimed that they had found bones at a damaged building, located adjacent to the razed Bangabandhu Memorial Museum building, at Dhanmondi 32 in the capital.
The members of CID came to the spot at about 8:30am on Monday and searched the place for evidence for two hours.
‘CID has collected bones from the spot. They will examine the bones to be sure whether they are the parts of human body,’ Dhanmondi police station officer-in-charge Ali Ahmed Masud said.
CID special superintendent of police (media) Jasim Uddin Khan said that a team went to the building and collected some evidence, including bones.
‘We have sent the evidence to our forensic team for examining them,’ he said, adding that the bones could be of animals or human beings.
Amid social media hype over the secret detention centre in the basement of the building, the members of the Fire Service and Civil Defence on Sunday removed water from the underground structure of the house and found no existence of the secret detention centre.
A spate of attacks was carried out on the house of Awami League leaders, party offices, and the murals and portraits of the country’s founding president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and his daughter deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina since January 5 when the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum building at Dhanmondi 32 was razed to the ground.
The chaotic situation began when different groups on their social media platforms called on people to join the ‘Bulldozer procession’ to demolish the Dhanmondi 32 building as Sheikh Hasina, now sheltered in India, was scheduled to address the country’s student community online on January 5 late evening.
