Opposition parliamentary team to visit Nusrat Tabassum’s house following petrol bomb attack

An opposition parliamentary delegation will visit NCP lawmaker Nusrat Tabassum's family home in Kushtia on Friday, two days after a petrol bomb attack left two people injured, killed two goats and destroyed household furniture.

The delegation will inspect the damaged house in Bagowan village of Daulatpur upazila and hold a press briefing at 3 pm.

Nusrat, a joint convener of the National Citizen Party (NCP), has accused Awami League-affiliated activists of carrying out the attack.

The petrol bomb was thrown at her family home around 11:45 pm on Wednesday, when eight people were inside.

Two occupants sustained injuries, while two goats were killed in the fire. Furniture inside the house was reduced to ashes.

Nusrat subsequently filed a case with Daulatpur Police Station, naming eight leaders of the Awami League's affiliated organisations and another 25 to 30 unidentified suspects.

Among those named are Kushtia district Chhatra League president Mir Ahsanul Islam Abhi and general secretary Pantha Shahariar Arpan.

Daulatpur upazila Chhatra League president Ashiq Sikder and joint convener Md Ridoy have also been accused.

The other four are Kushtia district Jubo League president Mir Saiful and general secretary Harun Or Rashid, and Daulatpur upazila Swechchhasebak League president Md Mominur Rahman Mohon and general secretary Shariful Islam.

The opposition delegation comprises NCP joint conveners Advocate Abdullah Al Amin and Dr Mahmuda Mitu, alongside Chuadanga-1 MP Advocate Masud Parvez Russell and Kushtia-2 MP Abdul Gafur.

All four are members of parliament.

The visit comes as Nusrat's allegations against Awami League-affiliated leaders have become the subject of a criminal investigation.

The allegations against the eight named individuals have not been independently established, and no arrests were mentioned in the available report.
