Shakib Al Hasan's home attacked after Hasina press conference

Unidentified assailants vandalized and attempted to set fire to the ancestral home of former Bangladesh cricket captain and ex-lawmaker Shakib Al Hasan in Magura on Wednesday night, hours after he appeared virtually alongside ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at a press conference. Police deployed to secure the area; no casualties were reported. The attack, which involved brick chips and a petrol bomb, is seen as escalating political tensions in Bangladesh.
