An allegation of throwing a petrol bomb has been raised at the house of Mahdi Hasan, member secretary of the district committee of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement in Habiganj. On Saturday (November 14) around 12:30 am, he came live from his Facebook profile and made this allegation. Mahdi claimed that while sleeping with family members at night, two bricks suddenly fell on the tin roof of their house and fire broke out.
However, rejecting this allegation, Habiganj Sadar Model Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Md. Zahidul Haq stated that no evidence of petrol bomb throwing was found at the scene. It is a drama. An auto-rickshaw battery is charged at his uncle Anwar's house, 20 to 30 yards away from Mahdi Hasan's house. Police claimed that the incident of a fire originating from an electrical short circuit burning down the electricity meter of his uncle's house was portrayed as an attack on his own house.
