Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal today warned that none of the culprits behind the attacks on Hindu community will be spared.

The minister came up with the warning while addressing a public gathering at Nasirnagar upazila of Brahmanbaria this evening.

"Detectives have so far detained 74 of those who were involved in the attack after identifying them from video footages," Kamal said, adding that all the culprits will be identified and brought to book for justice.

"This is taking sometime as the victims could not identify the attackers," he said.

Referring to the attacks on Hindu community in different places across the country, Kamal said, "These incidents have made us stunned and speechless."

"We are going to arrest all the culprits with proof and evidences of their involvement in the crime and bring them to book for justice," the home minister also said.

The minister also asked the bloggers not to write anything that might hurt the people's religious sentiments.

Inspector General of Police AKM Shahidul Hoque and Fisheries and Livestock Minister Sayedul Hoque, among others, were present at the programme.
