Bangladesh's security forces arrested 1,308 people in a nationwide operation called "Operation Devil Hunt." This crackdown follows four days of unrest and vandalism, particularly targeting supporters of the deposed Awami League government. The operation began after violence erupted in Gazipur, where student activists were injured. Authorities aim to stabilize the country by arresting those involved in recent attacks and vandalism. A command center has been established to monitor the situation and coordinate law enforcement efforts. The interim government has vowed to continue the operation until all perceived threats are addressed.
