Bangladesh's interim government launched "Operation Devil Hunt" to track down those involved in attacks on ex-minister AKM Mozammel Haque’s home in Gazipur. Violence erupted nationwide after a student group protested against assaults on its activists. Reports indicate mobs targeted supporters of deposed PM Sheikh Hasina, vandalizing homes and businesses. Hasina, in exile since August, faces demands for her trial. The government deployed army troops, promising action against attackers. Opposition BNP warned against escalating unrest, calling it a "broader conspiracy." The operation aims to restore order amid rising political tensions following the Awami League’s ouster after 16 years in power.
