A case has been filed at the Paltan Police Station against 5,000 unidentified individuals and 114 named suspects in relation to the recent unrest in front of the secretariat.
Additionally, legal proceedings are underway at Shahbagh and Ramna police stations, said Dhaka Metropolitan Police (Media Division) Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Obaidur Rahman on Monday (26 August).
Earlier, on Sunday (25 August) night, despite accepting various demands from the Ansar forces, a faction of the group reportedly detained interim government advisers at the secretariat and assaulted officers and employees, according to a video message from Hasnat Abdullah, a coordinator of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement.
Hasnat Abdullah criticised the Ansar forces for their perceived return to authoritarian behaviour and urged everyone to gather at the Raju Sculpture at Dhaka University.
Responding to this call, students from Dhaka University attempted to march towards the Secretariat.
However, they were met with stone-pelting from Ansar members, who also used batons to beat several students.
During the clash, both sides engaged in throwing bricks and stones.
