Dhaka, Jul 2 (IANS): It was late evening on July 1, 2016 when five young militants stormed into the Holey Artisan Bakery, a popular site for expats, in Dhaka s Gulshan area and went on to kill 20 diners, two policemen and two staffers before they were shot dead by army para-commandos the next morning.
Five years hence, the paperwork of the death reference of seven convicts is now ready, but the hearing could not start due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
The neo-JMB militants, armed with pistols, sub-machine guns, choppers and grenades, had taken around 40 people hostages, including restaurant staff and guests. Among the diners, they killed an Indian girl, nine Italians, seven Japanese, one Bangladeshi-born American, and two Bangladeshis.
