Bangladesh has launched "Operation Devil Hunt" to target gangs linked to the ousted regime of former leader Sheikh Hasina. This follows violent protests where students were attacked, prompting the interim government to respond with increased security measures. The operation began after protesters destroyed buildings associated with Hasina's family, marking six months since her departure amid a student-led revolution. The interim government has blamed Hasina for the unrest. Interim leader Muhammad Yunus called for calm and emphasized the importance of respecting the rule of law. The Students Against Discrimination group, which played a key role in the uprising, has demanded action against the violence.
