SUNAMGANJ, 19 March, 2021 (TON): In the backdrop of the attacks on the homes of Hindus in Sunamganj’s Shalla Upazila over a social media post that criticized the Hifazat-e-Islam leader Mamunul Haque, the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has vowed to punish the people involved in the attack.

On Thursday, the Director-General of RAB, Chowdhary Abdullah Al-Mamun, warned as he visited the damaged houses in Shalla Upazila’s Noagaon village.

He said, "The vandals who carried out the attack on the minority Hindu community in Noagaon will not be spared. The perpetrators will be brought to justice soon and that will discourage others from committing such crimes in the future.”

On Wednesda, the attackers vandalized 60-70 homes in the village before the police took hold of the situation in the village.

The attackers vandalised 60 to 70 homes in the village on Wednesday morning before law enforcers from Shalla and Derai police stations took control of the situation. Moreover, reports said the attackers also damaged the religious Hindu idols in the homes.
