In a disturbing incident in Dhaka, Bangladesh, a furious mob targeted and torched renowned musician Rahul Anand’s residence. This act of violence is one in a string of many that have occurred throughout the country over recent days.
Incident Background
Indian media reports claim that this unrest began after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled from Bangladesh. The political instability has sparked widespread protests and violence. Amid all this chaos, some high-profile targets including Rahul Anand were singled out by angry mobs who seem to be taking advantage of an already tense situation.
Attack on Rahul Anand’s House
Situated within Dhanmondi –a popular neighborhood in Dhaka– a large crowd descended upon Mr. Anand’s house. They started by looting it clean: carrying away anything valuable that could be found or easily removed. After they had finished ransacking his home, they set fire to it causing extensive damage as flames engulfed most parts of the building.
Losses and Damages Incurred
According to eyewitnesses, at least 3000 handmade musical instruments made by Rahul himself were taken by these attackers alone; not only were such items expensive, but they also represented years’ worth of skilled labor. Apart from these instruments, there were other things too which went missing during this incident — various valuable objects were stolen as well– leading towards destruction both in terms of property loss suffered personally hence leaving him deeply saddened along with the rest of kin folk members who luckily managed escape unhurt before any injury could occur but now have no place live nor anything left their name either.
Escape by Family Members
Previous Attacks
This was not the first time this particular group had struck; before coming down to Rahul’s house. They also visited Mashrafe Mortaza’s residence at Khulna. It seems like things are getting out of control in Bangladeshi society. Where political and social tensions spill over into violent acts against public figures or private properties owned by them.
