On Saturday evening, the Jatiya Party office in Kakrail came under attack, with reports of vandalism and arson. Eyewitnesses said tensions escalated when a group of people marched toward the party office. After a brief standoff, some individuals reportedly began throwing bricks at the building, setting parts of it on fire.
Chairs and tables were reportedly removed from inside and also set ablaze outside. Police responded with baton charges and water cannons to control the situation. As of the latest reports, a significant deployment of law enforcement personnel remains at the scene.
Earlier in the day, Shamim Haider Patwary, a factional secretary of the Jatiya Party, held a press conference at the same office.
