Cumilla: BNP Vice-Chairman Bulu, wife attacked

 BNP Vice-Chairman Barkat Ullah Bulu, his wife and two others were injured as they were reportedly attacked by some miscreants in Cumilla's Monoharganj Saturday on their way to Dhaka from Noakhali.

"Bulu sustained serious injuries to his head," Md Mostak Mia, central organising secretary of Cumilla BNP, said.

At a press briefing after the attack, Bulu said one of the tyres of his car got a puncture as he and his wife Shamima Barkat Lucky were heading towards Dhaka from Noakhali's Begumganj, reports UNB.

"Some miscreants attacked us at Bipulasar Bazar as we made a stopover to change the punctured tyre and were having tea with some local BNP activists and leaders," Bulu said.

They were immediately taken to a private hospital in Chandina and were later shifted to Dhaka for further treatment.

The injured said some men suddenly arrived on a motorcycle and swooped on them, according to Jawhar Iqbal, in-charge of Natherpetua Police Outpost.

"We will take legal action if we receive a complaint," he added.
