Earlier, at least 20 students were injured after being attacked by locals when a mob allegedly vandalised the house of former Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Haque in Gazipur.

The incident took place around 9:30 pm on Friday (February 7) in Dhirashram Dakshinkhan, Gazipur.

Local people said more than a hundred protesters, including students, stormed Mozammel Haque’s house, causing huge damage to the property.

During the attack, a mosque loudspeaker announcement alleged that robbers had entered the minister’s house, forcing locals to intervene. Upon hearing this, nearby residents cordoned off the house and locked into a clash with the attackers, beating several of them.

At least 20 students were critically injured and taken to Gazipur Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmad Medical College Hospital for treatment.
