Miscreants set fire to the July Memorial in Muktabazar area of Feni district town early Sunday.
Police said a around 3:30 am group of helmet-wearing youths poured petrol on the monument and set it ablaze before fleeing.
Feni Superintendent of Police Habibur Rahman and senior officials visited the spot.
Police said CCTV footages from the surrounding areas were collected.
“We have already identified those involved and legal action will be taken soon,” said the SP.
The July Memorial commemorates 11 people from Feni who were killed during last year’s July uprising.
Seven of them died in Feni on August 4, 2024 when Awami League men allegedly opened fire on protesters.
Condemning the attack, ‘A’ categorised July fighter Nahidur Rahman said it is disgraceful for the July martyrs and urged law enforcers to bring the accused to justice.
Feni district Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Abdul Hannan alleged that Awami fascists were preparing for further violence, calling on all to unite against them.
District BNP member secretary Alal Uddin Alal said Awami miscreants are still active in the district to destablise the national election.
