Bangladesh Launches ‘Operation Devil Hunt’ After Attack On Ex-Minister’s House

Bangladesh's interim government launched an operation Saturday after a student group gave a 24-hour ultimatum to track down "culprits" who assaulted their activists during a reported attack by protesters on an Awami League leader's house on the outskirts of Dhaka.

The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement leaders claim their activists went to the ex-minister's house to prevent looting but were attacked by miscreants.

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus's government ordered "Operation Devil Hunt" calling out army troops as a protest by the student organisation was underway in Gazipur, where their activists were assaulted on Friday.
