Miscreants on Thursday set a goods-laden stationary pickup van on fire on Kishoreganj-Bhairab regional road in Kuliarchar upazila of Kishoreganj district on the second day of the 48-hour blockade enforced by the BNP and like-minded opposition parties.
The attack on the pickup van was reported around 4:30 am, said Kuliarchar police station’s officer-in-charge Mohammad Golam Mostafa.
On information, a police team rushed to the spot and doused the flame with the help of locals, he said.
The miscreants also put a barricade on the road using logs in the Bus Stand area and set fire on tyres to create panic among people, the OC said.
