The BNP office in Pabna’s Faridpur Upazila has been vandalised and attacked with a crude bomb. No casualties were reported, but panic has spread in the area.
The attack occurred around 12:30am on Thursday, said Faridpur Police chief Md Sakiul Azam.
Police and locals said a group of youths arrived in an autorickshaw around midnight at the BNP Upazila office and detonated several crude bombs.
They also vandalised the signboard, door, and other structures before fleeing the scene.
Police visited the scene at night after receiving news of the incident.
The sound of the bomb explosion spread panic in the area. A local named Shariful Islam said political unrest has been going on in the area for a while. People are panicking again after such a sudden attack.
Former Faridpur Upazila BNP convenor and former Upazila chairman Md Zahurul Islam Bokul said, “Recently, after the death sentence of Sheikh Hasina and former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, Awami League members are carrying out such terrorist activities to put pressure on BNP leaders and activists.
“This attack on the party office is an expression of political vendetta.”
Officer Sakiul said no written complaint or case has been filed yet, adding that necessary legal action will be taken.
