Former building caretaker spread rumours of Tk200-300cr inside Gulshan residence, incited violence: CA Press Wing
Shakil Ahmed, a former caretaker of the Gulshan residence and one of the detainees in the vandalism incident which took place yesterday, provoked people to enter the house by spreading rumours of Tk200-300 crore inside, the Chief Adviser's Press Wing said in a Facebook post today (5 March).
"Earlier on Monday around 10:30pm, a group of people had tried to enter the house on the same excuse but failed as police sent them back from there," reads the post.
The statement also noted that the Ministry of Home warned all not to take the law into their own hands and inform the nearest police station if any crime occurs anywhere.

"The government is trying to maintain law and order in the country and is determined to ensure safety of lives and property," said the press wing.
Three individuals - Jewel Khandaker, Shakil Khandaker, and Shakil Ahmed - were detained over vandalising a Gulshan residence during a raid last night by a student-public crowd who assumed it belonged to former Sirajganj-4 lawmaker Tanveer Imam.
"They were detained from the spot while conducting the search," said Mokhlesur Rahaman, inspector of investigations at Gulshan Police Station.
