A woman sitting for the primary teacher recruitment exam in Brahmanbaria was arrested along with her brother today on suspicion of conspiring to cheat in the exam
The music academy of legendary musician Ustad Alauddin Khan is situated just 150 metres off Brahmanbaria Sadar Model Police Station.
Even days ago, the academy, established in 1956, used to buzz with music, dance, fine arts and daylong adda.
But everything changed on Sunday.
Supporters of Hefajat-e-Islam vandalised and torched the ages-old academy while unleashing a mayhem across the district during their hartal that day.
Now, what remains of the academy is its wrecked structure. Everything inside has been ravaged.
There is debris everywhere. A signboard, reading Sur Samrat Alauddin Sangeetangon , however, is still found hanging outside the main gate.
Speaking to The Daily Star, Manzurul Alam, general secretary of the institution, said, We had some rare photos and collection of music of the maestro [Alauddin Khan], but all those have been damaged.
