Miscreants attack BNP leader Kaisar's house, threaten not to join polls

KHULNA, May 07 (UNB): Miscreants attacked the house of former ward councillor and local BNP leader Md Mahbub Kaisar last night.
They also reportedly verbally abused Kaisar's family members and threatened that he should not join the upcoming Khulna city corporation election. Kaisar, elected from Ward 22 twice, was not home when the attack was carried out.
His family members and locals said the miscreants - on 14 to 15 motorbikes - came in front of the house around 11:30 pm and tried to break into the house in the Customs Ghat area of Khulna city.
They also hurled brickbats at the house, verbally abused Kaisar's family members and threatened that Kaisar shouldn't join the election, neighbours said, adding that the miscreants fled when locals started approaching the scene upon hearing the chaos.
Kaisar, expected to compete in the upcoming Khulna City Corporation election for the post of ward councillor despite BNP's decision to boycott the polls, confirmed the incident. He is yet to buy nomination paper.
