Agitated protesters have set fire to the Chattogram residence of former education minister Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury Nowfel following the death of Inqilab Mancha spokesperson Osman Hadi.
The incident occurred at the house located in the Sholoshahar area of port city on Thursday night, soon after the news of Hadi’s death spread.
Eyewitnesses reported that an agitated mob gathered in front of the minister’s house at night. At one point, they attacked the residence and set it on fire.
This house at Chashma Hill is the ancestral home of former minister Nowfel. It is known as the residence of his late father, Awami League leader and three-time Mayor of Chattogram City Corporation, ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury.
This residence has been attacked before. According to local sources, an attack was carried out on the same house at Chashma Hill around 6:30 pm on 3 August last year.
