Complaint of petrol bomb attack on Mahdi's home, OC claims 'drama'

On Saturday after midnight at around 12:30am, Mahdi Hasan came live on Facebook and alleged that a petrol bomb was thrown at his home. He said that while family members were sleeping, suddenly two stone-like objects fell on the tin roof of their room; immediately after, fire broke out there. In the live, Mahdi Hasan said, ‘We were sleeping. Suddenly two stones fell on the tin roof of our room and fire broke out. We assume something like a petrol bomb was thrown at the roof of our room. We immediately panicked due to this incident.’

Meanwhile, OC Zahidul Haque said police went to the spot after seeing Mahdi Hasan's Facebook live. He said, ‘This is Mahdi Hasan's drama. After seeing his Facebook live, I went to the spot and did not find any evidence of a petrol bomb being thrown. The fire originated from an electrical short circuit and the electricity meter of his uncle's house burned.’ The OC further said that basically, upon seeing fire at his uncle's house, Mahdi Hasan opened the window of his own house and came on Facebook live and alleged that a petrol bomb was thrown at his house.

However, a contradictory situation has arisen between Mahdi Hasan's allegation and the police's initial statement. It is important to conduct the necessary investigation and examine evidence at the spot to ascertain what actually caused the fire.
