A total of 16 people have been arrested so far in connection with the attack on students in Gazipur yesterday, according to police.

Besides, an officer-in-charge at the Gazipur Sadar Metro Police Station has been suspended for failing to immediately arrive at the scene of the attack despite being informed by students, said Gazipur Metropolitan Police Commissioner Nazmul Karim Khan.

The police commissioner made the disclosure while expressing solidarity with the students protesting in front of the Deputy Commissioner's office on Rajbari Road in the city this afternoon (8 February).

The commissioner also apologised for the police's failure to reach the scene on time.

He said everyone involved in the attack would be arrested and brought to justice. 

In response, Anti-Discrimination Student Movement leaders Hasnat Abdullah and Sarjis Alam said they want to see at least 100 people arrested by today. 

They also told police officials they want to see the Awami League men and their associates who were involved in the attack in jail by tomorrow.

Students issue 24-hr ultimatum to arrest those involved in Gazipur attack

Earlier in the day, leaders of the Anti-discrimination Student Movement issued a 24-hour ultimatum for the arrest of those involved in last night's attack on students.

They made the announcement during a protest rally in Gazipur city demanding justice for the attack.

During the rally, the platform's leaders also demanded the cancellation of Awami League's registration as a political party, the trial of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina and her associates, the arrest and trial of those involved in last night's attack, action against the AL cohorts lurking in the advisory council and administration, and confiscation of the property of AL leaders and corrupt individuals.

Yesterday, at least 15 people were left injured among a group of agitators attempting to vandalise Mozammel Haque's home in Gazipur last night after their bid was thwarted.

Locals and police said at around 9pm, a group attacked Mozammel's Dhirashram house, entering and vandalising it.

According to media reports, the local mosque reportedly announced that the house was being robbed and urged locals to come forward.

Many heard the announcement and surrounded the house. They also managed to capture some of the agitators. Some video footage on social media showed some people being beaten.
