Vandalism and Looting at Homes of Former Presidents, Ministers, MPs, Army Chiefs, Journalists, Awami League Leaders, and Police Officers in Bangladesh

Bangladesh seems to have turned into a land of death, with extreme chaos prevailing across the country. Law enforcement agencies, seemingly backed by the state, are maintaining a deafening silence. Mob justice is rampant, allegedly orchestrated by Pakistan’s intelligence agency, Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), and the Interim Government’s Chief Advisor, Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus, along with his advisory council members.

The so-called Anti-Discrimination Student Movement is leading these violent actions, which include setting fire to homes, looting, and bulldozing the residences of former ministers, MPs, army chiefs, journalists, Awami League leaders, and police officers. Dead bodies are reportedly being discovered daily in various parts of the country.

These incidents took place between 8:00 PM and 10:30 PM on Thursday (February 6, 2025).

According to local sources, on Thursday night, enraged students and citizens first declared the Awami League party office as a “public toilet.” Later, at around 8:00 PM, they used an excavator to demolish the building and set it on fire.

Around 9:00 PM, protesters attacked the residence of Syed Ashfaqul Islam and Biplob Sarker before proceeding to Abdul Hamid’s home, where they carried out arson, looting, and vandalism.

The protesters later hung a banner declaring the site a “public toilet.”

During the demolition, army personnel reportedly visited the location but later withdrew.
