A group of unidentified individuals attacked the Magura residence of former national cricket team captain and ex-lawmaker Shakib Al Hasan on Wednesday night. The incident, which occurred at approximately 8:45 p.m. in the town’s Keshobmor area, involved assailants hurling bricks and stones at the property.
Magura Sadar Police Station officer-in-charge Abdullah Al Mamun confirmed that several window panes were shattered during the attack. No injuries were reported, as the house remained largely unoccupied at the time. Authorities have since dispatched police units to the scene to secure the perimeter and investigate the motive behind the assault.
Initial police assessments suggest that the attackers attempted to set fire to the property’s main iron gate using an accelerant, though investigators found no evidence of explosive devices or petrol bombs at the site.
Shakib Al Hasan, who recently faced political backlash following his tenure in the parliament, was elected to the Magura-1 constituency during the controversial 2024 general election. Law enforcement officials stated that they have not yet identified the perpetrators and are currently reviewing evidence to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
