Former Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza could not escape the wrath of the student movement that started with a protest for quota reformation, followed by a series of non-judicial killings across the country.
The enraged mob set the Bangladeshi cricketer’s house on fire as the violent civil disobedience movement did not die out even after the end of Sheikh Hasina Wajid’s 15-year rule.
To satisfy the cause of the movement, they have made individuals affiliated with the Awami League their next target.
According to local media, the offices of the Awami League and the homes of its members of parliament are no longer safe from the protesters’ anguish.

The latest reports indicate that in the district of Narail in Khulna, the house of former Bangladesh cricket team captain and Awami League member of parliament Mashrafe Mortaza has also been set on fire.
