Intelligence sources claim that in the past few months, information has been found about the involvement of Awami League leaders and activists in incidents such as flash processions, cocktail explosions and arson. In these incidents, along with identifying the source of instructions and money, information obtained from detained individuals is also being verified.

According to intelligence information, many Awami League leaders and activists have left their villages and are staying in Dhaka. Some of them have taken up professions such as ride-sharing and driving auto-rickshaws. The movement of motorcycles from other districts and the involvement of drivers in political activities are also being scrutinized.

Officials say that because police received information about a recent procession only a short time beforehand, it was not possible to arrest everyone immediately. Since then, emphasis has been placed on preparing area-based lists. Police, DB and field-level intelligence officials are involved in this work.
