Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has directed the inspector general of police (IGP) and Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) commissioner to arrest bomb exploders and arsonists swiftly.
The premier gave the order while visiting police constable Shamim Mia who is undergoing treatment in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Square Hospitals in the capital on Sunday noon.
During the visit, Hasina enquired about the health of Shamim and asked the authorities concerned to provide better treatment to him.
Shamim was injured critically when miscreants hurled crude bombs at a police van in front of Matsya Bhaban at Ramna in the capital Saturday night. Four other policemen were also wounded in the incident.
Shamim was first admitted to the ICU of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) with splinter injuries on his head and other parts of the body and later was shifted to Square Hospitals.
Later, Sheikh Hasina visited Dr Shahnaz, daughter of former chief of Army Staff General Mustafizur Rahman, at the same hospital.
IGP AKM Shahidul Haque and DMP Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia were present on the occasion.
