A violent mob attacked Nurul Huda, Bangladesh's former chief election commissioner, at his home in Dhaka on Sunday. This incident occurred hours after Khaleda Zia's party filed a lawsuit against him over alleged electoral manipulation during his tenure.
Uttara West police station chief Hafizur Rahman confirmed the attack. 'We went to the scene after being informed of Huda's predicament,' he said. Police officials reported that the crowd dragged Huda from his residence before authorities arrived.
