A court here on Monday placed eight people, arrested in connection with the attacks on the Hindu community in Nasirnagar upazila, on a three-day remand each.
Chief Judicial Magistrate Sultan Shohagh Uddin passed the order when police produced them before the court, said Mahabubur Rahman, a court inspector.
Earlier, police arrested 21 more people for their alleged involvement in the attacks on Sunday night. A total of 74 people have so far been arrested in this connection.
On October 30, an unruly mob equipped with sharp weapons went berserk and demolished a number of Hindu temples and nearly 100 houses in Nasirnagar upazila following a rumour of a Facebook post demeaning the Holy Kaaba.
In a fresh attack on November 4, miscreants also set fire to at least six houses of Hindus in the upazila amid alertness of law enforcement agencies and local administration.
