The police have recovered 748 weapons of various types, which were looted from police stations and offices across Bangladesh during violence after former prime minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled to India on August 5.
Police Headquarters made the announcement in a press release on Sunday.
Besides, 20,195 rounds of bullets, 1,472 teargas shells, and 70 sound grenades were also recovered so far, the release said.
Many police stations and offices were attacked and looted across the country during the student protests as police opened fire on protesters indiscriminately, killing many protesters.
Over 600 people including children, students and police officers were killed since July 16 during the protests demanding quota reform in government jobs that eventually forced Sheikh Hasina to resign and flee the country on August 5.
