The main culprit behind the riots in Bangladesh has finally been arrested


- Many Hindu temples destroyed in communal riots

- 66 houses of Hindus were demolished last Sunday in riots during Durga Puja, 20 were set on fire

Security forces have arrested a key suspect in riots and attacks on Hindus during the Durga Puja festival. The Bangladesh police said. Giving more details, police said that the main suspect behind the riots, 3-year-old Iqbal Hussain, was arrested from the Cox's Bazar beach on Thursday evening. Earlier, police had searched for him at various places across the country.

It is also alleged that Iqbal Hussain left a copy of the Quran-e-Sharif during a Durga Puja in Comilla. Kumilla is 100 km from Dhaka. As far south as east.

One of the main reasons behind the Durga Puja riots has been found to be that some rioters had posted statements on social media before some criticized Islam. Although no Hindu was responsible for this, they were blamed and their temples and houses were attacked. The search for Iqbal Hussain began across the country after the police came to know that he was the mastermind. He was eventually caught out of the box-market. Police identified him as Wagebond. He was brought to Comilla from Cox's Bazar under heavy security and after initial interrogation, he was produced before the court and police are seeking his remand for several days.
