CID’s Crime Scene Unit collects evidence from Dhanmondi 32 house

The Crime Scene Unit of the Criminal Investigation Department collected evidence from Dhanmondi 32 this morning.

A 10-member CID team reached the site around 8:00am and left the area around 10:00am after inspection.

A team from Dhanmondi Police Station was deployed to assist them.

Md Selim, an inspector of the CID team, told reporters on the spot, "We are collecting all types of evidence available there. After analysing those, we will be able to say about the evidence."

Ali Ahmed Masud, officer-in-charge of the police station, the evidence collected by the CID team includes a piece of bone, a dress and a pair of shoes.

Yesterday, fire service officials drained water from the basement of a building adjacent to the demolished residence of Bangabandhu, addressing speculation about the existence of secret detention centres, commonly referred to as Aynaghar.

They confirmed that the space was intended for an elevator in the basement.

People visiting the site yesterday said they found a piece of bone from the area.

The protest and subsequent demolition of the Dhanmondi-32 building began following an announcement that ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina would deliver a speech online on February 5.

Protesters had created a Facebook event titled "Bulldozer March," calling for people to assemble at Dhanmondi-32 at 7:30pm that day.

Large crowds gathered, and by 9:30pm, the building was set ablaze. Shortly before midnight, a crane and an excavator arrived at the scene. Over the next few hours, parts of the building were razed to the ground. By 11:00am the following day, the heavy equipment had left the site.
