A CNG-run auto-rickshaw were burnt after miscreants hurled cocktails targeting the vehicle in the old Dhaka`s Kazi Alauddin Road on Sunday morning when opposition BNP is observing a 48-hour hartal across the country.
The incident took place around 8:30am.
Fire Service and Civil Defence headquarters duty officer Shahjahan Shikder said miscreants threw one or more cocktails on the auto-rickshaw in front of One Star Hotel and Restaurant.
The fire men soon extinguished the blaze, he added.
The 48-hour countrywide hartal called by the BNP and its allies began at 6am to protest the Election Commission`s announcement of the polls schedule.
