NCP arch torched ahead of rally in Narayanganj
Unidentified miscreants set fire to an archway erected by the Nationalist Citizen Party (NCP) in Narayanganj's College Road early Friday, ahead of the party's scheduled rally.
The incident occurred around 3:30am, and NCP district leaders blamed banned Chhatra League for the arson.
Ahmedur Rahman Tonu, a central leader of the NCP, claimed that Chhatra League members were behind the arson. "They fled when a night guard intervened. We later informed the police and demanded a fair investigation," he said.
