Another JaPa office, this time in Khulna, vandalised

Protesters vandalised the Jatiya Party's (JaPa) office in Khulna's Dakbangla area on Saturday evening.

Sheikh Munir-ul-Gias, the officer-in-charge of the Khulna police station, said that a group of agitated individuals attacked the Jatiya Party office around 6pm. They hurled bricks at the building, removed two plastic chairs from inside, and set them ablaze.

The identities of the attackers remain unknown, but efforts to identify them are currently underway, he added.

Witnesses said that the angry mob arrived at Dakbangla intersection as part of a procession. After crossing the intersection, they broke sign boards for the Jatiya Party's district office in Khulna. The group then entered the office, vandalizing furniture including chairs and tables before taking the broken items outside to set them on fire.

Later, they left the place chanting slogans against Jatiya Party leaders.

Earlier on Thursday evening, unidentified miscreants set fire to the Jatiya Party central office in Dhaka's Kakrail area.

According to eyewitnesses, a group of individuals—many wearing helmets and armed with sticks—entering the JP office through the main entrance. Chanting slogans, they tore down banners and festoons, vandalized furniture, and then set fire to the building's front and several rooms inside.
