'Petrol bomb hurled' at NCP MP Nusrat Tabassum’s house in Kushtia

A petrol bomb was allegedly hurled at the home of Nusrat Tabassum, joint convener of the National Citizen Party (NCP) and a lawmaker representing a reserved seat for women, in Daulatpur, Kushtia.

She made the allegation in a Facebook post late on Wednesday night (November 12).

“Someone has hurled a petrol bomb at my house. I don't know who did it,” she wrote.

She added: “If you think you can silence me this way, you are mistaken. I will continue my work, even if I have to walk through fire. Inquilab Zindabad.”

Meanwhile, Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain, in a post on his verified Facebook page, claimed that Awami League activists had hurled the petrol bomb at the Kushtia home of Nusrat Tabassum, also a member of the NCP's Political Council.

Asif Mahmud attached a video to his post showing a house engulfed in flames. In the video, the person recording it can be heard saying that cows, calves and pigeons had been brought out from inside the house.
