DHAKA, Nov 11, 2025 (BSS) - The law enforcement agencies have intensified drives to arrest the perpetrators responsible for the arson attacks in different places for the last couple of days.

Police officials, investigating the incidents, confirmed that the leaders and activists of the fallen fascist Awami League (AL) and its affiliated organisations are behind the sabotage, reportedly to destabilize the country. 

The AL men and their accomplices are doing the sabotage to disrupt the law and order, they said.

Deputy Commissioner of Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan of Police (DMP) Muhammad Talebur Rahman said those responsible for the anarchy will be brought to book.

However, the police have arrested as many as 552 leaders and activists of the AL and its affiliated organisations since October 1 till November 11, DMP Commissioner SM Sazzat Ali told a press briefing at the DMP Media Centre.

He said adequate security measures have been put in place across the capital to check any subversive acts by the fallen fascist allies.

"Nothing to be worried," he assured the city dwellers citing the enhanced security arrangement. 

Meanwhile, several vehicles were set on fire in the capital city and in some other places across the country.

In Mymensingh, a bus driver was burnt to death when a group of anarchists set ablaze to the vehicle early today.  

The July Revolutionary Alliance condemned the killing and demanded immediate arrest of the perpetrators.

The arson attack was carried by the AL cadres at the directives of the deposed former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, it alleged. 

As part of the plan to destabilize the capital, miscreants set a bus of Malancha Paribhaban on fire in the Old Dhaka's Sutrapur area this evening. 

According to the Fire Service and Civil Defence and police, several similar incidents occurred in the capital -- two buses in Jatrabari, one in front of LabAid Hospial in Dhanmondi, one in Uttara, and a private car in Bashundhara Residential Area were set on fire in the last two days.

Apart from the arson attacks, the miscreants also exploded crude bombs at different parts of the capital to create panic among the people, police said.
