Witnesses
and victims said properties worth almost Tk1 crore were damaged in the attack
The BNP-Jamaat-led opposition
alliance men yesterday vandalised, torched and looted valuables from the houses
of Hindus in the northwestern districts of Dinajpur and Thakurgaon.
The attacks were carried out at the
Laad Dabra village under Sator union of Birganj upazila of Dinajpur, reported
our correspondent in the district.
Houses of Kailash Roy, Jotish Roy,
Jotindro Roy, Promod Charan and former UP chairman Roopnarayn Sheel were
smashed in the attack. The house of Md Mamun, son of Khoka Pramanik, was also
attacked.
Witnesses and victims said
properties worth almost Tk1 crore were damaged in the attack.
On the election day, BNP-Jamaat men
attacked nearly all the 80 polling centres in the area. At least 40 educational
institutions, which were used as polling centres, had been badly damaged.
In a separate post-election
violence, activists of BNP and its ally Jamaat attacked ruling Awami League men
and the Hindus in eight villages under Sadar upazila in Thakurgaon district
last evening, leaving 15 people injured, reports UNB.
The miscreants also vandalised and
looted a number of houses and shops belonging to the ruling party men and the Hindus.
A temple in the area and the idols inside were also vandalised during the
mayhem.
As a sequel, opposition men launched
attacks on ruling party men and Hindus at eight villages including Jhakua,
Jhardanga, Baniyapara and Mondoppara last evening.
Soon after the attack, hundreds of
local residents, mostly Hindus from the eight villages, fled their homes and
took refuge in the adjacent villages fearing further attack by BNP-Jamaat.
UNB also reported that panic had
gripped the local residents, especially the Awami League leaders and activists
and the Hindus.
Following the incident, local
administration reinforced security in the area, deploying joint forces,
comprising police, RAB and BGB, to fend off further trouble.
