Twelve cases have been filed in six city police stations and 120 people arrested over Sunday's unrest, bomb explosions, arson, vandalism and clashes with police in the capital.
A Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) press release on Monday said that police filed 11 of the cases.
Of the cases, four were filed under the Speedy Trial Act.
Three cases each were filed with Paltan and Motijheel police, two each at Shahbagh and Ramna police stations, and two each with Tejgaon and Badda police.
Of the 120 arrestees, 119 of them have been charged in the Speedy Trial Act cases.
Police said 13 vehicles were torched in the capital on Sunday.
Several crude bombs were exploded in different parts of the city including in front of the BNP headquarters on Sunday following the day's earlier incident at Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB) where police swooped down, dispersed a gathering of main opposition BNP and arrested several activists as they allegedly created anarchy there.
One person was injured in the explosions, while another, an alleged carrier of bombs, died in Motijheel.
The police had detained more than 100 party supporters following the incident with BNP claiming the number is 300.
On Monday, six more bombs exploded in front of the BNP's Naya Paltan office in two phases, while two more went off at the capital's Bijaynagar area.
Law enforcers claim that the opposition activists are carrying out these pre-planned disruptive activities, but BNP refuted the allegations and said the government-backed violent incidents took place just to thwart the opposition's programme.
