A group of JMB men attacked the prison van with guns and bombs, and snatched away three JMB convicts, killing one policeman and injuring two others in last February.
Two of the freed convicts--Rakibul Hasan Russel and Salahuddin Salehin alias Sunny--were on death row. The other one-- Jahidul Islam alias Bomaru Mizan-- was serving life-term.
Hours after the attack, Mizan was captured from Tangail and later killed in a ‘gunfight’ with police.
