Miscreants exploded several crude bombs and torched a parked car at the house of Daganbhuiyan upazila unit BNP president Akbar Hossain at Alaiyarpur in the upazila early on Tuesday.
Akbar's wife Shahina Akbar said that the miscreants first spread panic by exploding crude bombs late at night. They entered their house premises and set the car on fire and fled, as per UNB reports.
Later, fire brigade personnel from Feni Fire Station rushed to the spot and doused the fire.
Daganbhuiyan Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Nizam Uddin said police visited the spot immediately. He said police are investigating whether it was sabotage or a result of some mechanical fault. Legal action will be taken in this regard, the police officer added.
On Saturday evening, Akbar Hossain was handed over to the police by Jubo League and Chhatra League leaders from a torch procession in the Tulatuli area that the local BNP brought out in support of the blockade.
