“Faisal Inam Kamol named 15 leaders from the BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami, including Barkatullah Bulu, vice president of BNP National Executive Committee, as the inciters of the communal violence,” he said. Anti-Hindu violence then spread to Chandpur, Chattogram, Noakhali, Feni and Rangpur where the minority community’s houses, businesses and places of worship were attacked. A person died from cardiac arrest during the attacks while police recovered another body from a pond the next day. Police arrested as many as 200 people in 26 cases filed over the Noakhali attacks. Among them, police arrested 11 BNP and Jamaat leaders on Sunday.
