The interim government has requested all citizens of the country not to take the law into their own hands, stressing that the law enforcement forces will identify all those who created a chaotic situation by creating a 'mob' and take appropriate action, reports UNB.
"All accused persons will be tried in accordance with the law of the country, and the court will decide on the matter and the person under trial," said the government in a statement.
On Sunday, former chief election commissioner Nurul Huda was arrested by the Uttara Police Station in Dhaka in a specific case.
The statement noted that the government has taken serious notice of the chaotic situation created at that time by the mob and the physical assault on the accused.
The interim government said attacking and physically assaulting the accused person is illegal, contrary to the rule of law and a criminal offence.
The government requested all citizens to exercise restraint in the struggle to establish justice.
