Claiming there is no  unrest by RMG workers at the factories, he said: "An investigation is underway. We are trying to identify the instigators. We have arrested a few suspects. Continuous drives are being performed to arrest the others.

"We have deployed additional members of law enforcement to ensure the security of the factories situated in Ashulia industrial zone."
