Bomb at N’ganj police box: Militant group possibly behind incident, says SP

Police say they suspect that a militant group planted the bomb near Signboard traffic police box in Narayanganj to target police or to show their existence by exploding the bomb.

 

"We are yet to be sure who planted the bomb there and why. We do suspect that there may be miscreants or a militant group behind it," Zayedul Alam, superintendent of police in Narayanganj, said.

 

The SP's comments came this afternoon, hours after sub-inspector Faisal Alam of Siddhirganj Police Station filed a case in this regard.

 

Anti-terrorism unit of Police has been given charge of the case.

 

Since the bomb was placed inside two concrete walls, it could not cause much destruction during explosion, the SP said.

 

The incident is possibly connected with the bombs recovered in different places of Dhaka before, he said in reply to a query.
