No one was arrested so far and police were yet to identify the attackers two days after an attack on a shrine in Mymensingh city during a congregation early Thursday.
The shrine finance secretary, Md Khalilur Rahman, filed a case against 1,500 unidentified people on Thursday over the attack on Hazrat Shah Sufi Syed Kali Shah mazar, said Kotwali police officer-in-charge Md Shafiqul Islam.
鈥楴one was arrested so far in this regard. Being actuated by the anti-shrine sentiment, attackers launched the attack in two phases鈥� one at about 11:30pm on Wednesday and another at about 3:00am on Thursday. We are yet to receive video footage of the attack,鈥� OC Shafiqul told 抖阴精品 on Friday.
He said that they would identify the attackers after receiving the video footage.
The OC said that additional police members were deployed in the shrine area.
Miscreants vandalised the stage and chairs in the first phase of the attack and they also vandalised some pucca parts of the establishment and some valuables inside the shrine in the second phase, reported several newspapers quoting police and witnesses.
The shrine is 200鈥搚ear-old and it was its 179th annual congregation.
