The house of SM Rezaul Karim, former minister and Awami League leader, has been set on fire by the enraged student-people at Nazirpur Upazila in Pirojpur district on Thursday night.
During the time, the attackers also vandalised the local Awami League office and the home of Mosharaf Hossain Khan, former upazila chairman and president of Nazirpur Upazila Awami League.
The house of Karim’s brother, Nure Alam Shaheen, a former Upazila chairman, was similarly targeted and set ablaze.
Eyewitnesses said that the unrest began around 8:30 pm when a group of angry students gathered in the town and marched through various streets, wreaking havoc on political offices and the homes of former Awami League representatives. The mob, which continued its rampage until midnight, also destroyed the homes of Nazirpur Upazila Jubo League General Secretary Chanchal Kanti Bishwa and Upazila Vice Chairman Sheikh Mostafizur Rahman.
