Five members of a Hindu family from Koyra village in Paiksha Union, Dhanbari upazila of Tangail, have formally converted to Islam through an affidavit at the Tangail District and Sessions Judge Court. Following their conversion, a prayer was held for them at a local mosque after Friday prayers. The family, now led by Mohammad Ali (formerly Sagar Biswas) and his wife Fatema Begum (formerly Baby Rani), reported being expelled from their home and forced to live in makeshift shelters, including a neighbor’s abandoned cowshed.

Mohammad Ali said he had long been interested in Islam and, with his wife’s support, decided to embrace the faith after studying its practices. Local former union council member Badol Hossain confirmed that the family joined communal Eid prayers but are now homeless. He appealed for government intervention and housing support for the new Muslim family.

Dhanbari Upazila Executive Officer Miz Nurjahan Akter Sathi stated that the administration has provided dry food to the family and will assist with their children’s education and other needs.
