Students and local residents vandalized and set fire to the house of Tofail Ahmed, a member of the Awami League’s Advisory Council and former Member of Parliament for the Bhola-1 constituency.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday (February 6) at approximately 12:30 am. A protest procession reached Tofail Ahmed’s residence in the Gazipur Road area of Bhola, where protesters first carried out acts of vandalism before setting the house on fire.
Earlier, on Wednesday night at around 9:30 pm, students and locals organised a protest march in front of the Bhola Press Club in response to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s online speech. The march proceeded towards Kalinath Roy’s Bazar and ended with a gathering at Shaheed Noor Alam Square.
