Miscreants allegedly vandalised the akhra (den) of a Baul ascetic in a remote area of Mirpur upazila of Kushtia on Friday evening.
Though police inspected the area, no one involved is yet to be detained.
It was learned that Baul Nishan Ali and his paternal cousins beat a painter named Rohel Sheikh who allegedly had been delaying in repaying a loan to the cousins on June 6.
Locals and police suspected that Rohel and his cohorts vandalised the den at any time on Friday evening. The den is located in a remote area on a canal bank of Ganges-Kobadak irrigation project.
The baul defended himself saying that the cousins鈥� problems are being shifted to him and he hasn鈥檛 been involved with this.
Md Abdul Khalek, assistant superintendent of police of Mirpur circle, who inspected the spot, said that they were looking into the matter to identify who or whoever was involved with the incident.
Exemplary measures will be taken if the authenticity of the attack is found, he said.
