Nationwide ‘Operation Devil Hunt’ launched following Gazipur attack

The government has launched ‘Operation Devil Hunt’ all over the country following an attack on students and people in Gazipur on Friday night.

In response to the incident, a high-level meeting was held on Saturday at the Ministry of Home Affairs, where law enforcement agencies discussed measures to maintain law and order and bring the perpetrators to justice.

As a result, the meeting was decided that a coordinated operation involving joint forces would start from Saturday across the country including Gazipur.

On Saturday, the information was revealed in a release signed by the Home Ministry's Director (Public Relations) Faisal Hasan.

Further details regarding ‘Operation Devil Hunt' will be disclosed in a press briefing on Sunday.

It is mentionable that the Gazipur attack, allegedly carried out by terrorists loyal to a fallen autocratic regime, left several individuals critically injured on Friday night.
