Miscreants attempted to set fire to utility type-50 ferry on the Payra river in Amtali, Barguna, by pouring petrol. The incident took place at around 3:30 am on Sunday night, creating panic among the ferry authorities and passengers.
According to sources, two individuals arrived on a motorcycle and entered the ferry. They poured petrol on the engine cover and locked the room door of Aslam, a representative of the ferry leaseholder, from the outside. As Aslam started shouting, locals rushed to the scene, causing the miscreants to flee without igniting the fire.
