DHAKA: Blockade supporters set fire to a human hauler in Modhya Badda area of the capital on Saturday evening.

No one, however, was injured in this connection.

Witnesses said some miscreants suddenly set fire to the human hauler in the evening and managed to flee the scene.

Local fire fighters rushed to the spot and doused the blaze.

On January 5, BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia called an indefinite countrywide blockade protesting ruling government’s obstructions to BNP-led 20-party from observing programs and confining Khaleda Zia at her Gulshan political office.
