475 people sued over violence in Gopalganj
  Bangla Press desk : A case has been lodged against 475 people over vandalism, arson, and attack on police personnel in Gopalganj Sadar upazila,  centring the NCP rally on Wednesday. Inspector Ali Ahmed filed the lawsuit with Sadar Police Station under the Anti-Terrorism Act against 75 people, citing their names and 400 unnamed others, Officer-in-Charge Mir Sajedur Rahman told the media on Friday. He said more than 50 people have been arrested so far, and a number of police teams are working in this regard. On Wednesday, four people were killed and dozens injured in a series of clashes between Awami League-Chhatra League activists and law enforcers over the NCP’s scheduled rally.
Another individual succumbed to his injuries on Friday while undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). In light of the deteriorating situation, the local administration initially imposed Section 144 in Sadar upazila and later enforced a curfew for 22 hours beginning at 8pm on Wednesday. Just before the expiration of the curfew on Thursday, the government extended it until further notice, with a three-hour pause from 11am to 2pm on Friday. Meanwhile, the government has formed a three-member body to investigate the violent incidents that resulted in the loss of lives and property. This article was originally published on The Daily sun.
