Police have blamed the Neo-JMB militant group for the attack and identified Sagar as the supplier of the arms used in it. Sagar, the second among the five children of village doctor Harunur Rashid and grocer Asia Khatun from Joypurhat’s Polikadoa Koiraparha village, had studied at a local madrasa. Asia told bdnews24.com on Friday Sagar passed Dakhil, equivalent to Secondary School Certificate, exams in 2001 but failed Alim, equivalent to Higher Secondary Certificate, tests. Sagar contacted the family several times later and visited home for the last time in 2014 with his wife, Asia added. They said they came to know about his alleged involvement with militancy after the arrest.
