Following this, on Friday morning, attacks and vandalism were reported at the homes of Mirazul Islam and seven to eight other BNP activists. According to BNP sources, the attacks were carried out by Jamaat supporters Anwarul Hawlader and Suman Hawlader.

In Chandrapara area of Kachua upazila, a local businessman was beaten after being asked for extortion as the BNP candidate received fewer votes. Injured, Sheikh Abdus Salam was taken to a private hospital in Khulna. He lives in Chandrapara village.

Abdus Salam’s son Nahid Hasan said, “This morning, while returning home on foot from the local market carrying fertiliser, a group of armed men blocked my father’s way near Fatepur market with sticks and iron rods. Several local BNP supporters demanded a toll of Tk 200,000 from my father and then beat him brutally with sticks.”
