Unidentified individuals hurled two crude bombs in front of BNP’s Nayapaltan central office in Dhaka on Saturday night.
The first explosion happened around 10pm, followed by another blast at about 10:45pm, said BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.
In a press conference after the incident, Rizvi strongly condemned the crude bomb explosions.
Rizvi urged the law enforcers to identify the culprits and arrest them immediately to bring them to justice.
Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Motijheel division Shahriar Al Mamun said unidentified miscreants carried out the incident.
He said police are investigating the incident with top priority.
No injuries were reported, but the sudden blasts caused fear in the area.
Rizvi said some cowards hurled the crude bombs to spread panic like that of Sheikh Hasina’s rule. “But it is not possible to frighten BNP leaders and activists with such incidents.”
The BNP leader said they can assume who may be behind such an incident, but it is the government’s responsibility to track down the culprits.
He urged all parties not to try to fish in troubled water, as the consequences will not be good.
Earlier, some BNP leaders and activists, led by Rizvi, brought out a procession in front of the party office protesting the incident.
