Protestors vandalised and looted a warehouse on ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's ancestral property in Dighalia upazila of Khulna, said locals on Friday morning. Witnesses said the mayhem began at 10:30pm on Thursday in the Nagarghat area with various anti-Awami League slogans.
It was learned that Sheikh Mujibur Rahman purchased one acre and 44 decimals of land in Nagarghat near the Bhairab River, in his wife Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib's name during the Pakistani period.
A jute warehouse and a single-room semi-building house were built on the land which later was named as 'Sheikh Hasina's Godown.'
Sheikh Hasina herself hadn't known about the property until 2007 when she learned about it through her personal lawyer. During Sheikh Mujib's lifetime, the jute warehouse was managed by his younger brother, Sheikh Abu Naser.
