5 indentified of Dhaka attack victims

Identities of five people including two Indian were found after several hours of country’s worst hostage crisis which was ended on Saturday morning when heavily-armed commandos stormed the popular Dhaka Holey Artisan cafe in the diplomatic enclave and killed militants who had been killing at least 20 people including foreigners and holding many people, captive for over 12 hours.

The victims were identified as Faraaz Hussain, the youngest son to Transcom boss Latifur Rahman’s daughter Simin Rahman, Ishrat Akhond, a former head of a Dhaka art gallery, who worked at different companies as marketing professional, one Tahmid Hasib Khan and two Indian citizens Arisa Jain and Anindita Kabir, though the law enforcer sources didn’t confirm the identities yet.

Family source claimed that Faraaz had gone at the hotel by driving himself on Friday evening before seven heavily armed attackers stormed it taking the diners hostage.
