Kishoreganj, Feb 6 – An angry mob has vandalised and set fire to the Kishoreganj residence of former president Abdul Hamid. 

The incident happened in the Kharampatti area of the district around 10:00 pm on Thursday. 

According to eyewitnesses, a large crowd stormed the house, broke into the premises, and looted valuables before setting fire to a motorcycle parked outside.  

Earlier in the evening, a mob demolished the Kishoreganj district Awami League office using a bulldozer, escalating tensions in the area. 

Local authorities are yet to comment on the situation, while security measures have reportedly been reinforced to prevent further unrest. - UNB
