Petrol Bomb Attack Targets Shakib Al Hasan's Home After Sheikh Hasina Press Conference
The ancestral home of former Bangladesh cricket captain and ex-Awami League MP Shakib Al Hasan in Magura was attacked with petrol bombs and vandalised on Wednesday night, hours after he appeared virtually alongside ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at a press conference in New Delhi. No injuries were reported as the house was unoccupied. The Awami League linked the attack to Shakib's participation in the event and accused opposition groups of threatening media coverage. Authorities have launched an investigation, but no arrests have been made.
