Bagha Jatin’s statue vandalised in Kushtia

Some unidentified people vandalised the statue of British revolutionary leader Bagha Jatin installed at Kaya College in Kumarkhali of Kushtia on Friday, 14 days after vandalising the under-construction sculpture of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in the district town.

They smashed the nose and some parts of the right cheek of the statue during the night, police said.

Kushtia additional superintendent of police Atiqul Islam Atiq said that, on information, a team of police went to the spot to inspect the matter.

Police had already launched a drive in the area to find the culprits behind the incident.

The group had also vandalised an under construction sculpture of the country’s founding president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in Panch Rasta Moar area of Kushtia on December 4.
