Mob vandalises Tagore’s ancestral home in Bangladesh after altercation, probe ordered

A mob vandalised the ancestral home of Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore in Bangladesh’s Sirajganj district, prompting authorities to launch an investigation into the incident, according to local media reports on Wednesday. The unrest began on June 8 at Kachharibari, also known as Rabindra Kachharibari or the Rabindra Memorial Museum, when a visitor accompanied by his family reportedly had a dispute with a museum employee over a motorcycle parking fee. The argument escalated, and the visitor was allegedly confined to an office and physically assaulted.
