Jatiya Party office vandalised, set on fire in Kakrail

A group of unidentified people attacked the Jatiya Party's central office in Dhaka’s Kakrail area and set it on fire on Saturday evening.

Confirming the attack, police said they are on the scene and working to bring the situation under control.

Earlier on Friday evening, clashes broke out between leaders and activists of Jatiya Party and Gono Odhikar Parishad when a procession from the latter passed by the Jatiya Party office in Kakrail.

Gono Odhikar Parishad claimed that several of their activists, including Gono Odhikar Parishad President Nurul Haque Nur, were injured when law enforcement officers charged batons during the incident.

Nur is now undergoing treatment in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).
