ATN Bangla journo's car vandalised
Unidentified criminals attacked Zahirul Islam Mamun, head of news of ATN Bangla, at the city's Gulshan on Wednesday night.
The criminals obstructed the car Mamun was driving on Road-24 on his way home. They vandalised his car.
Reason behind the attack could not be known.
“The criminals chased down my car, overtook it and obstructed the car,” Mamun told The Daily Star, adding, “When I opened the window a little, they tried to drag me out. They broke the windows.
“First I suspected that the criminals are muggers or carjackers but later it seemed that they were something else, since neither did they attempt to take my car nor any valuables I had on me.”
He said the attack might have been made out of anger sparked by his professional activities.
Mamun was attacked hours after he made comments on the role of the country's political leaders at a protest rally at the Central Shaheed Minar. He had said, “Leaders of both ruling and opposition parties are the same since none of them care about the people of the country.”
Lutful Kabir, deputy commissioner of Gulshan Division of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, said Mamun filed a case in this connection Thursday morning.
He said police were trying to find the vehicle used by the attackers.
