Popular singer Rahul Anand’s home was attacked: Report

According to a Daily Star report, there was massive vandalism and destruction at popular folk band Joler Gaan’s frontman Rahul Ananda's residence on Monday (August 5) prompting the singer and his family to take shelter at a secret place.

“Rahul Da and his family are shaken and are taking shelter in a secret place known to only a few. We could not contact him yet. It was not even his house, it was a rental he was living in for decades,” the media report said quoting Saiful Islam Jarnal, one of Joler Gaan's founding members.

Jarnal said the mob after breaking the main gate, started ravaging the house taking whatever they could find for themselves - from furniture, mirrors to valuables and then torched the whole house along with Rahul Anand's musical instruments. The fire also devoured the musician’s collection of over 3,000 musical instruments, which he designed and made over the years, the Daily Star said.
