Miscreants have set fire to the BNP office in Guthia union under Wazirpur upazila of Barishal district ahead of Awami League’s countrywide ‘lockdown’ for Thursday.
Locals said the attackers poured petrol around 3am and fled after igniting the blaze.
Residents rushed to the scene and tried to control the fire but the office and its valuables were completely destroyed.
Sources suspect the attack is linked to the Awami Leagues’ ‘lockdown’ programme to create panic among people.
Officer-in-Charge Abdus Salam of Wazirpur Police Station said a police team was sent to the spot and legal action would be taken upon investigation.
