The midnight raid in BNP's Nayapaltan central office was part of a "master plan" hatched by Detective Branch chief Harun Or Rashid, BNP's Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said today (17 July).
In an instant reaction following the raid, Rizvi said at a virtual conference that before this operation, cocktails were detonated in front of the central office and shots were fired.

Rizvi said the raid was to scare young quota reform protesters.
Condemning the move, the senior leader asked why the raid would take place in the middle of the night when the office was empty and BNP leaders were sleeping.
"Because any plot can be hatched in an empty office," he said.
