Police have blamed former MP Mujibur Rahman Chowdhury Nixon for disrupting law and order in Bhanga, Faridpur, through provocative remarks.
The police headquarters said unrest began after the inclusion of Algi and Hamirdi unions into Faridpur-2 constituency, sparking protests since September 5.
According to police, Nixon capitalized on the agitation, posting inciting messages on social media and even declaring the interim government and Election Commission “illegal” in a September 9 video message.
On September 15, his loyalists infiltrated the protest and allegedly vandalized government establishments, including Bhanga police stations and the UNO office.
Police urged citizens not to be misled by instigators and assured that no innocent individuals would be harassed in connection with the cases filed.
