New Delhi: A mob vandalised Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore’s ancestral home in Bangladesh on Wednesday. Local reports said that a group chanted anti-Tagore slogans and destroyed windows and furniture at the historic Kutchery House in Shahjadpur, Sirajganj.
Bangladesh-based bdnews24.com reported that Tagore’s house has been temporarily shut for visitors until further notice following the vandalism.
A visitor and his family were reportedly at the Rabindra Kachharibari ancestral site when he got into an argument with an employee over the motorcycle parking charges.
