According to eyewitnesses, around 11am, a man went in front of the house at Dhanmondi 32 and began chanting "Joy Bangla."
The agitated crowd then attacked him, beating him until he collapsed to the ground.
Several individuals later moved him away in an injured state, and at one point, he was seen being placed on a rickshaw.
A few moments later, a middle-aged woman wearing a salwar kameez stood in front of the demolished house and spoke in favour of the Awami League.
She repeatedly referred to the house as "apa's house." This led to a heated argument between her and the angry crowd, which ultimately escalated into an assault.
A journalist present at the scene told Prothom Alo that the woman was dragged towards the main road while being beaten. She repeatedly pleaded with them not to hit her. Eventually, a few individuals helped her onto a rickshaw. Her identity remains unknown.
