Two cases were filed today over the rampage on Hindus in Brahmanbaria as police claimed to have identified several attackers who vandalised temples and houses of the minority community.

About 500 anonymous people were sued in two cases, Abdul Karim, assistant superintendent of Brahmanbaria police (sadar circle), told The Daily Star this morning.

Fifteen people were detained so far in connection to the incident and several identified so far, the ASP said. Six of the detainees were held from the spot yesterday during the attack.

Around 150-200 people attacked at least five temples in Nasirnagar upazila and ransacked about a hundred houses yesterday – a hate attack believed to have started from a Facebook post that allegedly hurt religious sentiment of the Muslims.

The attackers ran amok through eight Hindu localities, including Kashipara, Daspara, Ghoshpara, Duttapara and Nomoshudropara, said Abdul Quader, officer-in-charge of Nasirnagar Police Station.

Meanwhile, people from all quarters will rally under the banner of 'Sompriti Somabesh' today in protest against the attack on Hindu community, locals said.

Meanwhile, a delegation led by Awami League Organising Secretary Enamul Haque Shamim will visit the victims of temple attacks, said a press release.

Other members of the delegation are Relief and Social Welfare Secretary Sujit Roy Nandi and central working committee members Golam Rabbani Chinu and Marufa Akther Popy.
