An arson attack occurred late Tuesday night at the home of Humayun Molla, president of the BNP’s Hobokhali Union unit in Narail Sadar upazila. According to police and family members, around 1 a.m. residents awoke to an explosion-like sound and discovered a fire in a storage shed on Molla’s property. Despite efforts to extinguish the blaze, the tin structure and its contents were completely destroyed.

Supporters of Humayun Molla alleged that the attack stemmed from disputes between two groups following the recently concluded election, in which Molla supported a rebel BNP candidate for the Narail-2 constituency. Police said no formal complaint had yet been filed and that an investigation was underway to determine the cause of the incident.

Authorities have not confirmed any suspects or motives, and the investigation remains ongoing.
