The investigation officer, last witness in the Holey Artisan attack case, completed testifying at a tribunal in Dhaka yesterday.
Humayun Kabir, a police inspector of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit, told the court that Neo-JMB chief coordinator Tamim Ahmed Chowdhury, along with recruiter Jahangir Alam alias Rajib Gandhi and other militants stayed at their rented house in Bashundhara residential area till January 1, 2016.
Jahangir and other militants first planned to launch the attack in February 2016 during a stay at rented house of militants Shakhawat Hossain Shofiq and Bike Hasan in Bonar Para area of Gaibandha, he said.
The militants used “Wickr ME Secure Messenger” and “com.mywickr.wicker2” apps for exchanging information in the café on July 1, 2016, he said.
The militants took a cell phone from Sri Lankan citizen Harikesha Wizesekera and browsed the website “www.protectedtext.com” to contact their high command, the inspector said.
During the investigation, six of the accused gave the confessional statements following laws, he added.
After a long investigation, “I submitted a charge sheet against eight militants including Major (sacked) Zia Ul Haque on July 23 last year,” he said.
