unabated.
A portion of the Kali Temple in Netrakona district was gutted when
unidentified persons set fire to it early this morning, a top police
official said.
Locals managed to douse the fire after 45 minutes, The Daily Star
newspaper reported quoting Delwar Hossain, the district’s additional
superintendent of police.
The incident came a day after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina promised to
arrest all those involved in the recent attacks on the minority
community.
Attacks were launched on houses and businesses of Hindus in several
districts including Rajshahi, Dinajpur, Thakurgaon, Lalmonirhat and
Jessore since Bangladesh went to polls on January 5.
Meanwhile, police arrested a Jamaat—e—Islami leader from northern Bogra
district for his alleged involvement in sabotage in different areas.
Superintendent of police Mojammel Haque said they also arrested 11
Jamaat activists from the district on charges of anti—national
activities.
