Three people hurled petrol bombs at a Grameen Bank branch in Tungipara, Gopalganj, shouting “Joy Bangla, Joy Bangabandhu” on Tuesday.
No damage was reported inside the office, but part of a door was burned. No one was injured.
The incident took place around noon at the bank's Patgati branch in Tungipara Upazila. A Chhatra League activist named Md Sujan Molla later posted a video of the incident on Facebook.
The video shows three people, including Sujan, throwing three petrol bombs at the branch while chanting the slogans. In the footage, Sujan is also heard saying that there would be no place in Tungipara for any dictator like Muhammad Yunus. They later attempted to break the lock on the bank's main gate.
Branch Manager Md Anwar Zahid said staff members had locked the main gate in the morning and were working outside when the incident occurred.
“We returned to the office after hearing about the petrol bomb attack in the afternoon. Although nothing inside the office was damaged, part of a door was burned. No one was injured,” he said.
He added that those responsible had themselves posted the video on Facebook.
Tungipara Police Station Officer-in-Charge Ayub Ali said police visited the scene after learning about the incident.
However, the bank authorities had not filed a complaint with the police station. Legal action would be taken if a written complaint was submitted, he added.
