A Bangladesh Hindu family’s house in Dumritola village, Pirojpur, was set on fire while the members were asleep on December 27. The attack is part of a series of arson incidents targeting minorities amid nationwide unrest following the death of youth leader Sharif Osman Hadi. The family narrowly escaped, but they lost all their belongings in the process. Police have arrested five suspects and are searching for others involved.

The fire spread quickly after attackers inserted a cloth inside the house. Family members escaped by cutting through fences but lost all possessions and pets. Similar attacks were reported in Raozan, Chattogram, where seven Hindu homes were torched over five days. Authorities have urged vigilance and promised action against those responsible for crimes targeting minorities.
