Authorities in Bangladesh launched a major operation to quell a wave of violence that has seen attackers vandalize property belonging to supporters of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Over 1,300 people have been arrested in the 'Operation Devil Hunt', which aims to target those attempting to destabilize the country. The violence erupted following attacks on the residence of an Awami League leader and the historic home of Bangladesh's founding leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
DHAKA – Authorities in Bangladesh on Sunday arrested more than 1,300 people in a joint operation of police and security forces launched to tackle the latest wave of violence across the country which saw attackers vandalising the family residence of Founding Father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in Dhaka and other properties belonging to Awami League .
When asked about the objective of the operation, Jahangir said, “What does ‘devil’ mean? It refers to evil forces. The operation will target those who attempt to destabilise the country, break the law, and engage in criminal activities.” Mobs targeting supporters of Hasina have vandalized homes and businesses in various parts of the country since Wednesday night. Many of the establishments belonging to former lawmakers, Cabinet members and the leaders of Hasina’s Awami League party were set on fire, apparently as part of a coordinated campaign involving the former home of Bangladesh’s independence leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman — Hasina’s father — in Dhaka, the capital.
The arrests were made across metropolitan cities and other parts of the country, with 81 activists of the deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina's Awami League being arrested from Gazipur. The violence erupted during an attack on the residence of former Liberation War Affairs Minister Mozammel Haque, who is one of many senior ministers and Awami League leaders on the run since the ouster of Hasina's government.
