The autopsy will check if they were under the influence of amphetamine-based drugs, namely Captagon, that the IS uses to create ‘super soldiers’, Soheil Mahmud had said. The remains of the attackers and their alleged aide were at the mortuary of the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in Dhaka. When asked why, he said: “We collected five mililitres of blood, teeth and flesh during autopsy. The counter-terror unit asked for hair and 20 mililitres of blood to be collected from the bodies for a second time, Soheil Mahmud, assistant professor of Forensics Medicine at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital had said.
