It was learned that the fire took place on Friday night, the opposition blamed the ruling party for it.
“An investigation is underway, but it appears that the train was deliberately set on fire,” Bangladesh Railway Police spokesman Ferdous Ahmed said.
In addition, police said the attackers targeted schools where polling stations were set up. Arsonists are known to have attacked at least five primary schools in the northeast of the country.
