Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) yesterday formed a three-member probe body to investigate if there was any negligence of on-duty police officials when Italian citizen Cesare Tavella was murdered.
The committee headed by Diad Ahmed, additional commissioner of the Detective Branch (DB) of police, was asked to submit the report within seven working days.
The two other members of the committee are Ataul Kibria, deputy commissioner of police of Diplomatic Security and Tutul Chakrabarti, deputy commissioner of police of Professional Standard and Internal Investigation Division, according to the report of Dhaka Metropolitan Police news portal.
On September 28, some unidentified assailants riding on a motorbike shot Tavella to death in the highly secured diplomatic zone of Gulshan area in the capital.
Before the three-member probe body police also formed an 11-member separate probe body to investigate the murder case.

Monirul Islam, joint commissioner of DB police, will coordinate both the probe bodies’ investigations.
Contacted, Muntasirul Islam, deputy commissioner of police of media and publication, says security in diplomatic areas has already been beefed up.
