A group of unidentified assailants attacked the residence of Barrister Anisul Islam Mahmud, chairman of a faction of the Jatiya Party and former Member of Parliament, in Hathazari upazila of Chattogram late Friday night. The attackers reportedly arrived by car around 11:45 p.m., broke through the main gate, and set fire to the house, destroying furniture, valuables, and a private vehicle belonging to Mahmud’s uncle, Akbar Haydar Chowdhury.
Chowdhury, who was at the house at the time, said he called the national emergency number 999 but received no response before the fire consumed the property. Police and fire service units arrived later but found most of the house already burned. Hathazari Model Police Station Officer-in-Charge Zahidul Islam confirmed the incident and stated that efforts are underway to identify and apprehend those responsible.
Authorities have yet to determine the motive behind the attack. The incident has raised security concerns in the area, with local residents urging stronger law enforcement presence and faster emergency response mechanisms.
