League men burn down temple, vandalise houses
Activists of Jubo League and Shwechchhasebak League allegedly burnt down a temple and vandalised some houses of the Hindu community in Ukiara village of Manikganj on Tuesday.The attackers also beat up a reporter of a national daily when he went to cover the incident, our correspondent in Manikganj reported.
Biplob Chakrabarty, Manikganj correspondent of the Daily Shamokal, has taken first aid at Manikganj Sadar Hospital.
I was under attack at around 10:45am. The attackers confined me for an hour and snatched away my mobile handset and camera, Biplob said.
The Shamokal correspondent claimed that the destruction was caused by the men loyal to Jubo League and Shwechchhasebak League.
My source told me that the AL men wanted to took possession of a vested property, owned by some late Shyamacharan Mandal in the area, Biplob said.
Gosai Chandra Mandal, a relative of Shyamacharan, and his brother Sharat Mandal have been living in the house for the last 80 years. The temple was also constructed within the property, Gosai told our correspondent.
After the death of Shyamacharan, the house was recorded as vested property. So, Sharat and me submitted an application to the deputy commissioner of Manikganj seeking ownership of the land, Gosai said.
Being rejected by the deputy commissioners office, the duo filed a writ on January 20 with the Manikganj District and Sessions Judges Court demanding temporary stay order.
Following the writ, the court passed an order asking the deputy commissioner, assistant deputy commissioner (revenue), upazila nirbahi officer, assistant commissioner (land) and union land officer to explain why the brothers should be evicted from the place.
District Jubo League member Jafar and Firoj with 12 to14 others came to the house at around 11:00am Tuesday and threatened us to leave the house immediately, Gosai said.
As soon as the brothers refused to do so, the AL wings men launched the attack on them, he added
