A case has been filed accusing top local BNP leaders 10 months after a fire broke out at the party's election office in Nabinagar, Brahmanbaria, during the 13th national parliamentary election. The case was filed in the Nabinagar Senior Judicial Magistrate Court on Monday, naming 11 top district and upazila BNP leaders along with 100 to 120 unnamed individuals, sparking severe discontent and anger among local party activists who later staged a protest rally.
The statement of claim alleged that on the night of February 1, a group of armed people marched in Natghar union's Kurighor Saimchhara bazar and set fire to the BNP office, three grocery shops, and a pharmacy using petrol, causing an estimated damage of 70 lakh taka. However, local residents and a senior BNP leader claimed that the fire originated from an electrical short circuit on the day of the incident, and this retaliatory case was filed due to internal political conflicts arising because the accused leaders supported an independent candidate during the election.
