Bangladesh's 'devil hunt' to tackle violence, 1,300 arrested in sweeping crackdown
India TodayIn a sweeping crackdown to tackle a fresh wave of violence across Bangladesh, targeting properties belonging to deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's family and leaders of her party Awami League, security forces arrested over 1,300 individuals under a nationwide joint forces operation dubbed 'Operation Devil Hunt'. The Yunus government took charge of the country afterward, leading to continued violence between members of Hasina's Awami League and supporters of Yunus's government, largely from the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and similar outfits. Amid allegations that security forces are specifically targeting Hasina’s supporters, Bangladesh’s Home Affairs Adviser Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury claimed that the actions are directed only against those seeking to destabilise the country. Former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia’s BNP urged the interim government to curb “mob culture” and restore law and order, warning that failure to do so could lead to the reemergence of “fascist” forces.
