Unidentified people attempted to set fire to former Bangladesh captain and ex-lawmaker Shakib Al Hasan’s house in Magura, police said. The incident occurred a little after the former Bangladesh skipper attended a media interaction addressed by ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The interaction was hosted by the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of South Asia in New Delhi.
The Daily Star reported that the incident took place around 9:00 PM, quoting Md Abdullah Al Mamun, officer-in-charge of Magura Sadar Police Station. “Several miscreants threw brick chips at the house and vandalised windows. They also tried to set the house on fire,” the OC said as quoted by the Daily Star.ย He added that the miscreants involved in the incident were not immediately known, as security was tightened around the house after the incident.
