Some BNP leaders led by party Organizing Secretary and Acting Secretary Syed Emran Saleh Prince went to the BNP office around 1pm and entered the office with some lawyers and journalists around 1:15pm.
Later they inspected the whole office.
Talking to the reporters, Emran Saleh said the police vandalized the furniture and valuables of the office. They also seized office computers and other equipment.
“We will prepare a list of the losses made at the office by the police,” he added.
