Miscreants have torched a temple and attacked some of the houses of the Hindu community at Sarai Hajipur village under Raiganj upazila in Sirajganj early Wednesday.
Police have arrested two persons for their alleged involvement in torching the temple.
The arrestees are Manjil Kha, son of late Golap kha and Abdul Barek, son of late Banik Ali of the upazila.
Police and witness said a gang of 10 to 12 miscreants torched the temple of one Jibon Sarker’s family around 2am, leaving four idols damaged.
However, the miscreants fled immediately as the villagers came out to prevent them.
Raiganj police station Officer-in-Charge Rashedul Islam said: “On information, police rushed to the spot. But, the miscreants fled the scene before the police had reached there."
Later, Jibon Sarker filed a case in the connection.
Police are investigating the matter, said the OC.
Leaders of District Puja Celebration Committee and World Hindu Association protested the incident.
