Former Bangladeshi cricket captain’s home attacked after Hasina media event

# Former Bangladeshi cricket captain Shakib Al Hasan’s family home has been attacked after he took part in an online media event alongside former prime minister Sheikh Hasina. Police say protesters smashed windows and hurled petrol bombs at the unoccupied house, causing a fire but no injuries. Hasina vowed to return home despite being sentenced to death in absentia over the deadly 2024 crackdown on student-led protests. The event on the second anniversary of her ouster, was Hasina’s first public interaction with the media since she fled the country.
