The Cabinet Division issued a notification to this end on Thursday night.
The commission will be headed by Justice Md Ali Reza of the Supreme Court's High Court Division and will also include the Senior Secretary of the home ministry and the Principal Staff Officer of the Armed Forces Division.
The commission has been tasked with identifying those responsible for the attack and recommending legal actions. It has also been instructed to suggest preventive measures and submit its report within 30 working days.

On August 29, violence broke out when a procession by the Gono Odhikar Parishad passed near the Jatiya Party's central office in Kakrail, triggering a clash.
Following the altercation, members of the army and police allegedly attacked leaders and activists of the Gono Odhikar Parishad near their own office on the opposite side of the road.
Nur was waiting there to hold a press conference when joint forces swooped on him and his supporters.
Nur sustained severe head injuries and a broken nose during the attack. Yesterday, the chief adviser directed that he be sent abroad for treatment.
