Dhaka, Bangladesh: Four-months after Bangladesh's worst terror attack on an upscale cafe in Dhaka in the capital's diplomatic enclave, authorities have returned the eatery where 22 people, including an Indian girl, were killed during a bloody siege by Islamist terrorists.
Police handed over the Holey Artisan Bakery to the owner of the plot, Samira Ahmed, on Sunday, following a court order, DMP Deputy Commissioner Masudur Rahman said.
Samira's husband along with his friends had started the Holey Artisan Bakery in 2014, bdnews24.com reported.
The cafe was attacked by a group of terrorists on July 1, who took around 30 people, mostly foreigners, hostage in the cafe.
Two police officers were also killed in the operation. The police took control of the cafe to preserve the evidence in the aftermath of the attack.
Housing and Public Works Minister Mosharraf Hossain had warned that the owner of the cafe would have to face action for opening it illegally.
