Several houses belonging to 10–12 Jamaat-e-Islami activists were vandalized and set on fire in Harinakundu upazila of Jhenaidah on Wednesday night. The attack reportedly followed the death of Abul Kashem, general secretary of the Kapashhatia Union Krishak Dal, with allegations that BNP supporters carried out the violence. Fire service units brought the blaze under control, and multiple homes, including those of Jamaat leaders Abdul Aziz, Nayeb Ali, and Matiar Rahman, were damaged.
Following the incident, the victim’s son filed a complaint naming 12 individuals and 10–15 unidentified persons, though police have yet to register the case. The BNP and its affiliated organizations held a protest rally demanding the arrest of those responsible for Kashem’s death. Police said the conflict began over a Facebook post that led to a dispute between BNP and Jamaat supporters, resulting in Kashem’s death during a clash.
In response, local Jamaat leaders denied involvement, claiming the death stemmed from a family dispute and accusing BNP activists of exploiting the situation for political gain.
