Family members of seven Japanese victims who were killed in the Friday Gulshan cafe attack visited the spot of the massacre on Monday evening.

They, along with officials of JICA and Japanese Embassy in Dhaka, reached Holey Artisan Bakery around 6:05pm and left around 6:30pm.

The family members, however, did not talk to the press. They were driven back to a nearby hotel by three tourist coaches.

Journalists were not allowed to follow and talk to them.

Earlier, they received the bodies of their family members killed on Friday night.

The family members are scheduled to leave Dhaka on Monday night.
