Murad, who, the police say, trained the Gulshan café attackers, was killed during a Friday night raid at Dhaka's Mirpur.

On Saturday, an autopsy was conducted on his body at the Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).

Its forensic department's Assistant Professor Sohel Mahmud told the media that three bullets had hit his head. "The rest of the bullets hit him at different places in his body."

But all bullets exited the body and not even one is lodged in it , the doctor added.

Police claimed Murad to be the 'second-in-command' to top Neo-JMB leader and the Jul 1 café attack 'plotter' Tamim Ahmed Chowdhury.

Tamim and two other suspected militants were gunned down last Saturday, when police raided a house in Narayanganj.
