[ Reported as seen ]

On the morning of November 18, the home of Subhas Ghosh was attacked and their puja mandap was vandalized by by Awami League’s leader, Khorshed Bepari and his co-religionists. The incident took place in the Kostapara area in Bhuanpur Upazila in Tangail district in the Dhaka Division of Bangladesh.

Reportedly, About 10 members of his family were injured during the attack and at least 4 out of them were admitted to the Bhuanpur Upazila Health Complex for medical treatment.

The victims are identified to be Ratan, Nikhil, Ashok, and Shanto Ghosh.

Khorshed is said to be a leader of the youth wing (Jubo League) of the ruling Awami League.

He reportedly carried out the targeted attack on his Hindu neighbour over an ongoing ‘land dispute.’ His brother Arshed Ali was also an accomplice in the attack.

Amlesh Ghosh said, “A team of 7-8 people, led by Khorshed, attacked us 3 times and vandalised our house. At least 10 family members, including women, were injured. We need justice. We are preparing to file a case with the police.”

On the other hand, Khorshed claims that the attack did not take place at all. “There were no fights or cases of assaults (on our part). They (the Ghosh family) only attacked and hurled abusive slurs at us,” said Khorshed.

“They are spreading lies. I am involved in politics and my job is to serve people. I cannot do such work of assaulting anyone”, Khorshed added.

As the case unfolded it came to kight that this is yet another case of Land Jihad. In the radicalized Islamic nation of Bangladesh, land Jihad has become a hot favourite of the extremist population.

Khorshed had filed a case against Subhas Ghosh over the land. However, on November 17, the court dismissed the case. A day later, the family was attacked by sharp weapons.
