In one of his posts on Facebook, eminent writer and columnist Anisul Hoque wrote: “What is the point of using CCTV cameras, if faces in the footage remain unrecognisable? My curious mind wants to know.”

Many Facebook users asked RAB to provide blown up photos and clearer footage so that people can identify the suspects.

Recovering the license plate number of the car seen dropping off one of the suspects was also a concern of the users.
