What Happened

On Wednesday night, the ancestral residence of former Bangladesh cricket captain Shakib Al Hasan in the Keshabmor area of Magura was targeted by a group of unidentified individuals. According to reports, the attackers threw stones and petrol bombs at the house around 8:45 pm, causing significant damage and attempting to set the structure on fire. Local police were notified and arrived at the scene shortly after the incident occurred.

The attack took place only hours after Al Hasan participated in a virtual press conference addressed by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who is currently in India. The Awami League, Hasina's political party, condemned the incident on social media, describing it as a consequence of Al Hasan's attendance at the media interaction. Al Hasan, who previously served as a member of parliament for the Awami League, has faced ongoing political opposition in Bangladesh following the ouster of the former government.
