Gazipur, Bangladesh – In response to a violent attack on students and civilians in Gazipur, the Bangladesh government has launched a nationwide security operation named “Operation Devil Hunt.” The incident prompted a high-level meeting at the Ministry of Home Affairs, where law enforcement agencies gathered to devise strategies for restoring law and order and holding the perpetrators accountable. Following discussions, officials announced plans for an immediate joint operation starting in Gazipur and expanding throughout the country to quell unrest and ensure public safety.

The enforcement of “Operation Devil Hunt” signifies the government’s commitment to maintaining peace and order across the nation.
