Miscreants vandalized the house of Monirampur upazila BNP unit's general secretary and aspiring UP chairman candidate SM Moshiur Rahman at Manirampur upazila on Monday.
Police and locals said a group of 25-30 people, allegedly led by his rival candidate's younger brother, attacked the house of Moshiur, the current chairman of Shyamkur upazila, as he along with his followers were busy filing up nomination paper for the upcoming Union Parishad polls, reports the UNB.
Panicked, Moshiur informed the Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) and Manirampur police station officer-in-charge seeking protection.
He, however, filed his nomination paper through his wife and with the help of the local administration, said Manirampur police station OC Taherul Islam.
