Lalmonirhat, June 1 -- The district unit office of the Jatiya Party (JaPa) in Lalmonirhat was reduced to ashes after a group of unidentified miscreants set it on fire late on Saturday night.

According to police and witnesses, a group of 15 to 20 people arrived on eight to 10 motorcycles around 11pm and broke the locks of the office, located at Alorupa Mor in the district headquarters.
