‘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.
