A house belonging to Nadim Hasan, brother of former Dhaka-18 lawmaker and former joint general secretary of Dhaka North Awami League Habib Hasan, was set on fire reportedly by a mob in Uttara today (17 November). 

The incident occurred at House-7 on Road-23 in Sector-7 of Uttara, shortly after the International Crimes Tribunal announced its verdict against ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina in a crimes against humanity case.

Speaking to the media, Rozina Akter, duty officer at the Fire Service and Civil Defence control room, said two firefighting units brought the blaze under control.

A video of the fire has since circulated on social media, showing thick black smoke billowing from inside the residence while a crowd gathered outside.
