An arson attack damaged the garden house of Shahjahan Kabir, president of the BNP’s Dhamti Union unit, in Debidwar upazila of Cumilla on Friday night, February 13. According to local sources, a group of unidentified assailants set fire to the property under cover of darkness and fled the scene. Parts of the house were damaged, but locals managed to bring the blaze under control soon after it started.
The incident triggered strong condemnation and protests throughout the upazila. Leaders of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) denounced the attack, describing it as cowardly and unacceptable. The member secretary of Cumilla North District BNP wrote on Facebook that such acts of violence, whether politically or personally motivated, challenge law and order and human values, demanding exemplary punishment for those responsible.
Debidwar Police Station Officer-in-Charge Moniruzzaman confirmed that police visited the site after receiving reports of the fire. However, no written complaint had been filed as of the report’s publication, and legal action will follow once a complaint is submitted.
