Police arrested 60 people on charges of vandalism in different districts during Monday's demonstrations in solidarity with the oppressed people of Gaza.

Besides, the Chief Adviser's Press Wing in a statement yesterday said the attacks on shops were a "serious threat to public safety and the rule of law".

Two cases have been filed over the matter, the statement added.

"Further investigations are underway, and additional cases are being filed against those responsible for the reprehensible acts," it said.

Police have raided multiple locations and are analysing video footage to identify the suspects, it said.

The government urges people to come forward if they have any information that could lead to the arrest of more suspects, it added.

Groups of rowdy people vandalised and looted shops, restaurants and shoe stores in Sylhet, Chattogram, Cox's Bazar, Khulna, Gazipur, and Bogura during demonstrations on Monday.

Home Adviser Jahangir Alam Chowdhury yesterday warned of tough action against those involved.

He added that the law enforcers would be vigilant and prevent the recurrence of such incidents, he told reporters at the Secretariat.

Responding to a question, the home adviser said Monday's vandalism was not preplanned, BSS reports.
