Police have launched an investigation to find out if its members set fire to Santal houses during an eviction drive in Gaibandha’s Gobindaganj on November 6.
“The investigation will reveal the truth,” Inspector General of Police AKM Shahidul Hoque said on Friday, after paying Victory Day tributes to the martyrs at the Rajarbagh Police Lines.
The role of the police came into question after several media outlets including the Dhaka Tribune ran reports on the video.
The High Court on December 14 ordered an investigation into the incident to find out whether police were involved.
