The interim government on Friday urged Bangladeshi citizens to resist all forms of mob violence following the death of prominent July Uprising leader — Inqilab Moncho spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi — six days after he was shot by masked gunmen in the national capital.

In a statement, the interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, also condemned the lynching of a Hindu man, saying there is no space for such violence in the new Bangladesh. “The perpetrators of this heinous crime will not be spared,” it added.
