A Grameen Bank branch in Dogachhi Bazar under Dogachhi Union of Pabna Sadar Upazila came under a petrol bomb attack early Tuesday (November 10), triggering a fire inside the premises.

The incident occurred shortly after 1:00am. Local residents alleged that the attackers chanted the slogan “Joy Bangla” during the attack.

Asaduzzaman, Assistant General Manager (AGM) of Grameen Bank’s Pabna Zonal Office, said the bank had been operating from a rented house in Dogachhi Bazar.

He said miscreants hurled petrol bombs at the front of the branch and the windows of its rooms after midnight, setting part of the premises on fire.

The bank’s security guard noticed the incident and raised an alarm. Hearing his cries, local residents rushed to the spot and brought the fire under control.

Asaduzzaman said the attack caused no significant damage to the bank. The authorities were preparing to file a case after submitting a written complaint.

Officer-in-Charge of Pabna Sadar Police Station Tarikul Islam said a police patrol team visited the scene during the night after receiving information about the incident. Legal action was being initiated in connection with the attack.
