The Daily Star, 3 October 2012
Unknown miscreants attacked the house and office of Jatiya Party (Ershad) lawmaker HM Golam Reja in the city’s Mirpur area on Wednesday.
“A group of people numbering 50 to 60 hurled brick chips at Reja’s house around 12:30pm, said Abdul Latif, officer-in-charge of Kafrul Police Station.
“On information, police rushed to the spot and dispersed the unruly men”, he added.
Police suspected that the attack might have been carried out by the rival group of the MP from Shatkhira-4 constituency.
The attack came a day after the party decided to cancel his position as presidium member of Jatiya Party on charges of fraudulence.
The lawmaker claimed that his wife, Jinnatul Nahar, 45, and two daughters – Sharmin Reja, 26, and Tasnim Reja, 11 – were injured by broken window glasses and brickbats during the incident.
Reja, also the owner of BMB Travel Agency at Mirpur-10, said his commercial organisation was also attacked by the group.
