Dhaka, July 4 -- The BNP leaders in Faridpur have entered the town residence of former MP AK Azad, alleging a secret Awami League (AL) meeting was taking place inside.

After finding no one, they left the premises and later led a street procession, "threatening to set the house on fire if any such activity is repeated".

The incident occurred around 3:45pm on Thursday, when Golam Mostafa Miraj, member secretary of Faridpur Metropolitan BNP, arrived at Azad's Jhilttuli residence with three to four party activists.

Security guard Mehedi Hasan opened the gate. Inside, they questioned staff about the alleged meeting.

Upon hearing that no such gathering was under way, they exited.
