Then several rapes took place and now people are getting killed in mob beatings. These are not mere accidents but conspiracy hatched by BNP-Jamaat alliance. So we should remain alert against these,” state-run Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha news agency quoted Huq as saying.

The law minister said these while addressing a function to inaugurate newly-constructed five-storied district bar council building in Netrakona this afternoon, said a law ministry press release.
