Community in Gazipur yesterday alleged that a group of people, reportedly led by a local BNP leader, vandalised their home on Friday.

Following the incident that took place in the city's Bhadun Maizgaon area under ward-41, one Nirmal Mallick filed a complaint with Pubail Police Station yesterday.

Mallick said some armed individuals, led by BNP leader Shahjalal Miah, stormed into their house, and vandalised it.

They also took Tk 2 lakh and four voris of gold.

Contacted, Shahjalal denied the allegations.
