Arson Destroys Content Creator Kafi’s Home in Patuakhali
A devastating arson attack completely destroyed the home of content creator Nuruzzaman Kafi in Kolapara, Patuakhali, early Wednesday morning, according to local fire service officials.
Mohammad Elias Hossain, Station Officer at Kolapara Fire Service, reported, "We received the distress call around 2:15 am and immediately dispatched our team to the scene. Thanks to a swift and coordinated response, we were able to control the fire quickly. Thankfully, there were no casualties, and everyone inside the house is safe."
Nuruzzaman Kafi's father, Maulana Mohammad ABM Habibur Rahman, expressed his distress, saying, "This was a deliberate act of arson, intended to harm our family. We demand a full investigation and justice for this crime."
A neighbor, Wali Ullah Imran, added, "It’s clear that this was planned. The door was locked from the outside, and we saw the family fleeing with nothing but the clothes on their backs."
The fire completely engulfed Kafi's house in Rajpara village, Kolapara, where he has gained significant attention recently due to his content on social media.
Authorities are now investigating the incident, which has left the local community shaken.
