Thursday, August 6, 2026 - Former Bangladesh cricket captain Shakib Al Hasan's ancestral home has been attacked with petrol bombs and vandalized, just hours after he participated in a virtual media event alongside former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The attack, which occurred in Magura, caused damage to the property and sparked a police investigation. No injuries were reported because the house was unoccupied at the time.
Authorities believe the incident is linked to the country's ongoing political tensions following Hasina's public appearance from exile. Shakib, who previously served as a lawmaker under Hasina's Awami League, has remained a controversial figure since the political upheaval in Bangladesh.
The attack highlights how political divisions are increasingly spilling over into acts of violence targeting public figures.
The latest incident raises fresh concerns about security and political stability in Bangladesh. As investigations continue, many are calling for restraint and accountability to prevent further violence.
The attack also serves as a reminder that the country's political crisis continues to affect not only leaders but also prominent personalities associated with the nation's recent political past.
