An angry mob went on a rampage in Lohagara upazila of Narail district on Friday night, damaging at least two houses of the Hindu community and several shops in Digholia Bazar.
Haran Chandra Pal, officer-in-charge of Lohagarha Police Station, said a college student belonging to the Hindu community made a Facebook post "hurting religious sentiments" on Friday.
As the news spread like wildfire, a group of local people thronged Digholia Bazar and vandalised two houses and six shops that night. They also set one of these houses on fire over the issue, the OC said.
