‘We have matched the face with the national ID card of Fazle Rabbi found inside the house and later we talked with Jessore SP and confirmed his identity,’ the police official said.

“We tried to match the fingerprints of the militants with Election Commission’s database, but we could not do it because of some problems in the collected fingerprints,” he said.

Md Asaduzzaman, officer-in-charge of Narayanganj Sadar Model Police Station, filed a case under anti-terrorism act last midnight accusing the three militants, who were killed yesterday, and some unnumbered unidentified people.

‘Identities of two militants came up in the media reports but we are yet to get any official confirmation on it,’ Moinul Haque, superintendent of Narayanganj police, told journalists this morning.
