A group of unidentified arsonists have attacked and injured a guard of an election campaign office of the Awami League in Khulna amid the BNP’s protests against the Jan 7 vote under a partisan government. They poured kerosene on the man, 42-year-old Hasan Farazi, and set him on fire when he was guarding the campaign office at ward No. 7 under Khan Jahan Ali Police Station area in the wee hours of Friday, police said. The ruling party candidate blamed the BNP and its ally the Jamaat-e-Islami for the arson attack during his visit to the hospital. No case was filed and no arrest was made over the incident, Momtazul said.
