An attempted arson took place at a Grameen Bank branch in the Garidah Bus Stand area of Sherpur upazila, Bogura, late Saturday night. According to police, two unidentified individuals poured petrol on the bank’s outer gate nameplate and set it on fire before fleeing on a motorcycle. The fire quickly extinguished, causing only minor burn marks and no significant damage. CCTV footage from a nearby building captured the incident, but the suspects’ faces were obscured by fog. Bank officials discovered the burn marks the following morning and notified authorities. Police recovered two empty plastic bottles believed to have contained petrol and suspect the act was intended to spread fear. Law enforcement has increased patrols in the area and launched an investigation to identify and arrest those responsible. The Superintendent of Police stated that the attempt appeared to be an act of sabotage, though no formal complaint had been filed as of Sunday afternoon.
