Kushtia MP home firebombed: Parents injured as blaze guts house
A petrol bomb attack on National Citizen Party leader Nusrat Tabassum's family home in Kushtia has left several relatives injured and gutted the property.
A petrol bomb was hurled at the family home of reserved-seat MP Nusrat Tabassum in Daulatpur, Kushtia, late on Wednesday night. The resulting blaze caused severe burns and injuries to several family members, including the lawmaker's parents.
Nusrat, who serves as a joint convener of the National Citizen Party (NCP), disclosed the attack on social media early on Thursday. She insisted the intimidation would not stop her political work. A party representative told The Business Standard that the house was completely gutted by fire.
NCP leaders, including Senior Joint Secretary Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain, accused Awami League activists of carrying out the assault. Officials confirmed that local authorities were alerted, but CCTV footage has yet to be examined to formally identify the attackers.
