"So, we question sincerity of police officials in revealing the motive behind the murder", Doha said.

"We have information that a vested group, in connivance with police officials involved in the investigation, is trying to damage the merit of Belal murder case", he said.

He regretted that the invstigation officer (IO) of the case visited Belal's family only once in last 96 days from the date of the bomb attack, which clearly indicates his lack of interest in the case.

"We are quite afraid of the mastermind and the killers (of Belal), who are moving at large", he said.

The press conference was attended by Belal's father Modasser Ali, mother Alhaj Mannujan Nesa and wife Prof Tanijila Begum.
