The police on Saturday filed a case against about 3,500 unidentified people over Friday’s attack on a shrine in Goaland upazila of Rajbari, where the body of Nurul Haque was exhumed and set on fire.
Goalandaghat police station sub-inspector Selim Molla filed the case accusing the attackers of assaulting police, obstructing government duty, vandalising government property, and arson, said the station’s officer-in-charge, Rakibul Islam.
‘Nobody has been arrested so far,’ the OC told reporters around 4:00pm, adding that police were investigating the incident to identify the perpetrators.
On Friday, several hundred people under the banner of the Iman-Aqeedah Rokkha Committee stormed the shrine locally known as Nura Pagla Mazar. They exhumed the body of Nurul Haque from his grave and set it ablaze.
At least one person was killed, and 20 others were injured in the clashes that followed.
The deceased was identified as Russel Mollah, son of Azad Mollah from the area.
The attackers also vandalised the vehicles of the upazila nirbahi officer, the additional superintendent of police, and the officer-in-charge of Goalandaghat police station, the police said.
