Law enforcement agencies have arrested 477 more individuals across the country in the last 24 hours until Saturday afternoon as part of the ongoing nationwide crackdown, codenamed "Operation Devil Hunt."
This brings the total number of arrests under the operation to 4,401, according to the police headquarters.
In addition to these arrests, 870 others were arrested in connection with various cases during the same period.
During the operations, the joint forces also recovered arms and ammunition including one foreign made pistol, two magazines, 20 round of bullets, two hammers and five sharp weapons.
The government launched "Operation Devil Hunt," a coordinated effort by joint forces, to dismantle terrorist networks allegedly linked to remnants of the ousted autocratic regime of the Awami League. The crackdown follows a violent attack on 7 February in Gazipur, which left several civilians and students seriously injured.
