Former Bangladesh Cricket Captain Mashrafe Mortaza’s House Set on Fire Amidst Protest Violence
In a shocking incident, the house of former Bangladesh cricket captain Mashrafe Mortaza was set on fire amidst violent protests in the country. The incident occurred in the port city of Narayanganj, where Mortaza’s residence is located.
According to reports, the protests were sparked by the death of a young man who was allegedly killed by police during a demonstration against the government’s decision to increase fuel prices. The protests quickly turned violent, with demonstrators clashing with police and setting fire to several buildings, including Mortaza’s house.
Mortaza, who is also a member of the country’s parliament, was not at home when the incident occurred. His family, however, was present and was safely evacuated by the authorities.
The former cricketer has been vocal about his criticism of the government’s handling of the protests and has expressed his solidarity with the demonstrators. His house being targeted is seen as a clear message from the authorities to silence him.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with many taking to social media to condemn the attack on Mortaza’s house. The government has promised to investigate the incident and bring those responsible to justice.
The violence has resulted in several casualties, with reports suggesting that at least five people have been killed and many more injured. The situation remains tense, with protests continuing across the country.
