On Friday (11 September), around 11:45am, leaders and activists of the banned Awami League and its affiliated organisations brought out a procession in an alley near KFC on Road No 3 in Gulshan.
When police moved to disperse the procession, the protesters threw crude bombs at them. Police arrested two people on the spot and recovered five cocktails. At least 75 people have been arrested so far in connection with the incident.
Speaking at an event at the Secretariat yesterday (15 September), Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed said there had been intelligence information about the procession.
“We had intelligence information. But on Friday, police may not have anticipated that they could do something like this after coming to the area for Friday prayers,” he said.
Regarding the procession, the home minister said some people had gathered in the area around 11am, saying they would attend Friday prayers, and action was later taken against them.
