Locals apprehended him as he had been loitering in the area since soon and attempted to enter the establishment through the back door in the afternoon.

A Quran was recovered from his bag at that time. Later, he was handed over to the police.

The detainee is Mizan, son of late Shamsuzzaman from Luiatpur village in Begumganj of Noakhali….

The matter created tension among the locals since a series of attacks was launched on the temples, houses and shops of the Hindus across the country including Noakhali during the Durga Puja in October.

The attacks were launched after a false claim of the desecration of the Quran by the Hindus at a Puja venue in Comilla spread like wildfire.

Later, police arrested one Iqbal Hossain of the town for placing the Quran at the Puja venue to spoil religious harmony.
