Lawmaker's car attacked

A youth attacked Awami League lawmaker Ekabbar Hossain in Gazipur while he was travelling in his car, injuring his personal secretary and the driver yesterday.
The lawmaker's personal secretary Shamim-al-Mamun and the driver received minor injuries when trying to resist the attacker.
Ekabbar, lawmaker from Tangail-7, and the others in the car -- his wife Jharna Begum and a domestic help -- were unhurt.
The youth, Rafiqul Islam, 25, broke a wing mirror and the windscreen of the car with a stick, said Shamim.
They had started from Tangail's Mirzapur upazila and were heading to the capital. They were attacked at Chandra in Kaliakoir upazila around 10:00am, Shamim added.
On information, police hurried to the spot and arrested the attacker, said Omar Faruq, officer-in-charge of Kaliakair Police Station.
Shamim filed a case under Speedy Trial Act against the youth with the police station.
