France-based Bangladeshi YouTuber and political commentator Pinaki Bhattacharya says two masked men tried to set his family’s home in Bogura ablaze around 2:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 4. The attempt reportedly occurred at the front door of the house, known locally as “Shyamapakhi,” beside the Altafunnesa playground in the Jaleshwaritala area. In a post on his verified Facebook page on Wednesday, November 5, Bhattacharya alleged the act was politically motivated, saying assailants lit materials at the entrance while his elderly mother was inside, and vowed he would not be silenced. Neighbors told reporters they believe the individuals were drug users loitering nearby who left behind paraphernalia after trying to start a fire. Police visited the scene following media reports and the social-media post. Mahfuz Alam, the investigation officer at Bogura Sadar Police Station, said CCTV footage showed two young men outside the house around 2 a.m., adding they might be drug abusers, though all angles are being probed. Superintendent of Police Zedan Al Musa said additional personnel were deployed to guard the residence and that officers are analyzing video evidence to identify the suspects and determine motive. No injuries were reported; damage details were not specified, by authorities as yet.
