After the worldwide outrage against the failure of the Bangladesh government to secure the Hindu minorities, the Police has been acting now against the Islamists. Recently, the Bangladesh Police has arrested four Islamists for attacking the Hindu minorities in Sunamganj district of Bangladesh.
On the 14th of December, the police launched a manhunt to nab the Islamists. From different parts of the district, the police arrested four Islamists. They are identified as Alim Hossain(19), Sultan Ahmed Raju(20), Imran Hossain(31) and Sajahan Hossain(20).
On the night of the 3rd of December, Islamists attacked Hindu minorities in Doyarabazar of the Sunamganj district. Islamists alleged that a Hindu youth named Akash Das insulted the Quran. The Police immediately arrested the accused Hindu youth on the afternoon. But, the Islamists were not happy.
Later in the evening, an angry mob in the Dowarabazar area held a protest, demanding the arrest of Akash Das. The procession began at the Upazila headquarters and headed towards Monglargaon. This led to an outbreak of violence and vandalism.
Houses and shops of the Hindu minorities were targeted. The houses and shops were vandalised, looted and some were set on fire. Many Hindu minorities fled from the area to save their lives. Within few hours, the Army was deployed.
