Hartal: Vehicles vandalized, cocktails blasted in Sylhet

Miscreants have vandalized vehicles and exploded cocktails in Sylhet on second day of the 48-hour hartal called by BNP, Jamaat and like-minded political parties.

The incidents took place at Uposhohor Point of the city around 9 am on Monday (November 20).

Local sources said, a group of helmet-wearing miscreants put a barricade on the road and vandalized a truck and an auto-rickshaw. Later, they also blasted cocktails there.

Miscreants fled the scene when they came to know that police are coming there.
