DHAKA: Law enforcement agencies in Bangladesh arrested on Saturday four people for vandalising and damaging houses, shops and the local Loknath temple of the Hindu community in the Doarabazar area of Sunamganj district earlier this month.
On Dec 3, a Facebook post by Akash Das, a resident of Sunamganj district, had sparked tension in the area. Even though he deleted the post, screenshots had spread widely, leading to violence. Local police had immediately arrested Das but due to concerns over his safety he was transferred to another station.
Police said that on that day a mob had vandalised and damaged homes, shops, and the local Loknath temple. The situation was brought under control by the district SP, DC, army, and police. Police identified the accused involved in the incident and filed a case against 150-170 people, including 12 named individuals as plaintiffs.
Those arrested in this incident are Alim Hossain (19), Sultan Ahmed Raju (20), Imran Hossain (31), and Shajahan Hossain (20).
