Dhaka, July 4 (IBNS): Bangladesh Police chief AKM Shahidul Hoque on Monday said two persons have been arrested for their suspected connection to the militant attack on a cafe in Dhaka.

“They are being treated at hospital, after which we will interrogate them,” the inspector general of police was quoted as saying by bdnews24.com.

The identities of the two suspect have not been disclosed.

The Bangladeshi Army on Saturday said that 20 people were killed by heavily armed terrorists after being taken hostage at a restaurant in the capital city Dhaka on Friday evening.

The people were kept hostage for nearly 10 hours in Dhaka's upscale restaurant Gulshan. The stand-off between Army and terrorists came to a end on Saturday morning.

The operation left six terrorists killed as well.

An Indian girl, who was taken hostage in the restaurant, also died in the terror attack in Dhaka, Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj confirmed.
