11 of same family roasted alive in Banshkhali
Bangladesh Observer
CHITTAGONG, Nov 19: - Eleven members of same family, roasted alive in a
planned plot of arson by armbed robbers at village Southern Shadhanpur under
Banshkhali police station early today.
It was the worst case of arson in the known history in this part of the
country. Approximately four square kilometers minority-dominated village
turned to a place of horror. Most of the villagers have apparently lost voice
even to comment on the tragic incident.
None could give dependable information regarding possible reasons of the
arson. However, it is believed to have occurred as the sequel to old
hostility.
A group of men in the guise of bandits stormed the earthen two-storied
dwelling of Tejendra Lal Shushil shortly after zero hours on Wednesday.
Although, the attackers posed like bandits but they engaged their efforts to
trap the house inmates for materializing previously planned arson instead of
looting valuables.
The armed attackers ransacked the ground floor of the house and set it on
fire when the house inmates went upstairs for safety. They also fired several
gunshots as the neighbors attempted to rescue the trapped house inmates.
