A petrol bomb was allegedly thrown at the home of reserved-seat MP and National Citizen Party (NCP) Joint Convener Nusrat Tabassum in Daulatpur, Kushtia, setting the house on fire.
The incident occurred earlier today (12 November) in Bagoan village, in the Dangmorka area. The fire gutted seven of the house’s 10 rooms. It also killed two goats.
Local residents and a team from Bheramara Fire Service rushed to the scene and brought the fire under control. After arriving from Dhaka, Nusrat reviewed CCTV footage and said someone had made four attempts to set fire to the house from the rear.
“I suspect petrol bombs were thrown at the house. I have no personal enmity with anyone. I consider this an act of political sabotage,” she said. She said the caretaker’s family lived in the house, while she operated a farm on the property.
Nusrat’s father, Abdul Halim, said they heard a loud noise while talking after dinner and later discovered that the house had caught fire.
“We used to live in that house. It is our ancestral home. We will take legal action over the incident,” he said.
Caretaker Shah Alam Saban said he woke up after hearing several loud noises and found the house on fire. He said local residents rushed to extinguish the fire, but the blaze destroyed all his family’s belongings.
“I lived here with my wife and children. Everything was burnt in the fire,” Shah Alam added.
Jalal Hossain, who looks after Nusrat’s farm, said the property housed nine adult cows, as well as goats, ducks, chickens and pigeons. Local residents helped evacuate the livestock after the fire broke out. However, two goats died from burn injuries, he said.
According to local sources, a three-storey building stands beside the fire-damaged tin-shed house. Family members live on its third floor, but the fire did not spread to the building.
Additional Superintendent of Police Delwar Hossain of Bheramara Circle said police were investigating whether the incident involved sabotage.
“The family has alleged that petrol bombs were thrown at the house. The matter is under investigation,” he said.
Earlier, Nusrat reported the alleged attack in a Facebook post. “My house has been hit with a petrol bomb. I don’t know who did it,” she wrote.
She added, “If you think you can silence my voice this way, you are mistaken. I will continue my work, even through the path of fire. Inquilab Zindabad.”
Meanwhile, NCP Senior Joint Secretary Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain and the NCP Media Cell also shared the video on Facebook. They alleged that “Awami League terrorists” had hurled the petrol bomb at her house.
