Miscreants set fire to the BNP office in Ward No. 6 of Boropilak, located in Hafchhari Union of Guimara Upazila, Khagrachhari. The incident occurred around 3:30 AM on Monday, resulting in the complete destruction of the office and all the furniture inside.

MN Absar, General Secretary of the Khagrachhari District BNP, alleged that “terrorists” affiliated with the Awami League, Chhatra League, and Jubo League were responsible for setting fire to the party office in Guimara and the jeep in Khagrachhari town.

‘They are attempting to create an unstable situation.’
Saiful Islam Sohag, the Upazila BNP president, stated that upon noticing the fire at 3:30 am, party activists and local residents attempted to extinguish it.

Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Guimara Police Station, Mohammad Sohrawardi, stated that unidentified individuals set fire to the BNP office under the cover of darkness. Eight suspects have been taken into custody for questioning.

Meanwhile, miscreants also set fire to a ‘Chander Gari’ (a type of local jeep) parked in Khagrachhari town. The incident took place in the early hours of Tuesday in front of the KSTC Hospital on Pankhaiya Road, leaving the vehicle completely gutted.

Mukul Kumar Nath, an official at the Khagrachhari Fire Service station, reported that upon receiving news of the fire at 4:30 AM, two fire service units promptly arrived at the scene and brought the blaze under control.

However, the office was entirely consumed by the flames before the Matiranga Fire Service personnel could arrive at the scene.

In protest against the arson, BNP activists held a demonstration in Guimara. The protest was attended by Upazila BNP President Saiful Islam Sohag, General Secretary Mahbub Ali, Organising Secretary Ayub Ali Dalim, and other local BNP leaders.
