A letter threatening an attack on the Mangal Shobhajatra procession during the Bengali New Year celebrations has been found on the Faculty of Fine Arts premises at Dhaka University.
Abtahi Rahman, a member of the procession’s organising committee, filed a general diary with Shahbagh police.
Md Al Amin, the sub-inspector of Shahbagh police tasked with looking into the matter, said a member of the organising committee found the letter on Tuesday night according to the GD.
Abtahi mentioned in the GD that the note, along with Tk 50 was found on a plastic chair as they were supervising the painting of a wall on the west side of the faculty.
The note called the Mangal Shobhajatra 'idolatry', adding: “Do not harm yourself by attending. An attack might occur at any time.”
The GD was filed following consultation with the proctorial team of the Faculty of Fine Arts.
