A group of miscreants set fire to a sugar-laden truck and vandalized a police vehicle in Shibchar upazila of Madaripur on Thursday morning (November 13).
The incident took place around 8:30 a.m. on the Dhaka–Bhanga Expressway in Shibchar. Additional police rushed to the spot and brought the situation under control.
