A case has been filed at Gazipur's Bason Police Station regarding an attack and vandalism at a rally stage set up for BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia in 2014, reports the Daily Star. 

The president of the Bason Thana BNP, Md. Tanvir Siraj lodged the case. According to Rahedul Islam, the officer-in-charge (OC) of Bason Police Station, 30 named individuals and 150 unnamed individuals were accused of the crime that took place 10 years ago.

Among the named accused are former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, former Liberation War Affairs Minister A K M Mozammel Haque, former MP Iqbal Hossain Sabuj, and Gazipur Metropolitan Awami League President Azmat Ullah Khan, among others.

Tanvir stated that the incident occurred on December 27, 2014, when Khaleda Zia, the opposition leader at the time, was scheduled to be the chief guest at a public rally at Bhawal Badre Alam Government College in Gazipur. Around 11:30 AM, Awami League leaders attacked the rally stage, causing significant damage and leaving BNP leaders injured.
