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 10pm yesterday (6 February).

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.
