6 more held over Nasirnagar attacks

The identities of the arrestees could not be ascertained yet. Nasirnagar OC Abu Jafar said: “Police conducted separate drives in different areas of the upazila and arrested them on Monday night.” A total of 84 people have been arrested in connection with the attacks, reports UNB. On October 30, an unruly mob equipped with sharp weapons went berserk and demolished a number of Hindu temples and nearly 100 houses in Nasirnagar upazila following a rumour of a Facebook post demeaning the Holy Kaaba.
