Cocktail Explodes Again in Front of July Memorial Museum in Dhaka; Attackers Came by Rickshaw and Fled
Miscreants have again set off a cocktail explosion in front of the July Memorial Museum at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar (the former Ganabhaban) in the capital.
Tejgaon Division Deputy Police Commissioner Ibn Mizan confirmed the matter at around midnight on Wednesday night (4 November).
He said that after 11pm, miscreants came by rickshaw, set off a cocktail explosion in front of the July Museum and fled.
However, no one was injured in the incident, Deputy Commissioner Ibn Mizan said.
Earlier, on 14 October, miscreants threw two cocktails one after another in front of Gate No. 1 of the July Museum in the Sher-e-Bangla Nagar area. One of them exploded and the other lay unexploded.
Later, the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) bomb disposal unit took the initiative to neutralise the unexploded cocktail.
In that 14 October incident, a CNG-run auto-rickshaw driver named Md Shahin, also known as Arif Molla (45), was injured. Splinters struck his body.
The injured Shahin was first taken to Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital. He was later transferred to the emergency department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital for advanced treatment.
