Petrol Bomb Attack Targets Shakib Al Hasan's Home After Virtual Press Conference with Sheikh Hasina
Former Bangladesh cricket captain and ex-Awami League MP Shakib Al Hasan's ancestral home in Magura was attacked with petrol bombs and vandalised on Wednesday night, hours after he appeared virtually alongside former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at a press conference in India. No injuries were reported as the house was unoccupied. Authorities have launched an investigation but have not identified suspects. The attack occurred amid heightened political tensions following the 2024 political upheaval in Bangladesh and Hasina's announcement of plans to return.
