Bernicet, the US ambassador at the time, attended a dinner on 4 August 2018 at the home of Badiul Alam Majumdar, secretary to Shusasonor Jono Nagorik (Shujaan). On their way back, their vehicle came under attack.
Details of the incident have been given in the letter sent by DB to the Embassy. The letter said that the court charged nine people in this case in March, 2021. They are Firoz Mahmood, Naeemul Islam, Mir Amjad Hussain, Saju Islam, Rajibul Islam, Shahidul Alam Khan, Mojahid Azmi, Siam and Oli Ahmed. But Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court public prosecutor (PP) Abdullah Abu pleaded for further investigation. In the application, he said that five people including the plaintiff gave their statement in the court and three of them named Imtiaz Mahmood, brother-in-law of Badiul Alam Majumdar, as the culprit. But the investigating officer did not reveal his name. Therefore, further investigation is required to identify the true culprit.
