Dhaka, Feb. 6 -- A group of youths have vandalised sculptures and murals of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in Jashore city.

Witnesses said that around 10pm on Wednesday, 25 to 30 youths arrived at the Muktijoddha Complex in the city on 10 to 12 motorcycles, while wielding hammers, iron pipes, and axes.
