The panel formed by the Home Ministry to probe the snatching of convicted militants from a prison van in Mymensingh has found police and the jail authorities responsible for the daring incident.

The three other members of the committee are deputy secretary to the ministry Khairul Kabir Menon, DIG (Dhaka Range) SM Mahfuzul Haque Nuruzzaman and DIG (Prisons) Tipu Sultan.
Two inquiry committees were formed to investigate the snatching of three convicted members of the banned militant outfit Jama’at-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) from a prison van in Mymensingh on February 23.
The Police Headquarters constituted the other three-man committee, led by Deputy Inspector General (Current Charge) of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Syful Alam.
