A Dhaka court has granted a remand for four individuals, including State Dialogue Forum member-secretary A N M Ayash, following the vandalism of a Rabindranath mural located outside the Shilpakala Academy. Authorities have charged the group under Sections 120B, 153A, and 295A of the Penal Code. Police allege that the suspects engaged in criminal conspiracy and sought to incite communal discord and religious tension leading up to the Durga Puja festival. Legal experts clarify that Section 120B specifically addresses criminal conspiracy, with potential sentencing determined by the severity of the planned offense. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities examine the motivations behind the defacement and the broader implications of the alleged conspiracy to disrupt public order.
