The attacks, which occurred during a turbulent time in the capital, shocked many as the violence escalated and resulted in casualties among law enforcement officers. The police have since focused on identifying those involved and bringing them to justice.
In the Ramna Division alone, 135 individuals were arrested in September for various offenses linked to the unrest.
Among those detained were key figures from the Awami League's youth wing, the Jubo League, including its acting president, who was arrested in connection with a case related to the student movement, said the DC.
