DHAKAThe houses of several Hindu families have been vandalised and burned by some radical Islamists in Bangladesh's Comilla district over rumours about an alleged Facebook post slandering Islam, according to a media report on Monday. The headmaster of a kindergarten school in Purbo Dhour welcomed Macron's action in a comment on the post. As the rumours about the Facebook post spread, tension mounted in the area on Saturday, the report said. The situation is under control now, Md Abul Fazal Mir, deputy commissioner of Comilla district, told bdnews24.com after visiting the area. The deputy commissioner said the locals carried out arson attacks on homes, including those of the two arrestees.
