7 cocktails blasted in city, 2 injured

DHAKA: Two women were injured as couples of cocktails were exploded presumably by hartal and blockade supporters in Naya Paltan, Katabon and Nilkhet areas of the city on Thursday.

In Naya Paltan, some miscreants blasted four cocktails in a road opposite to the Anandya Community Centre in the area around 7:45pm.

No detention was reported in this connection as the anarchists fled the spot immediately after the blast.

However, the law enforcers started drives in the adjacent areas to catch the culprits after the incident.

In Katabon, two cocktails were blasted allegedly by hartal and blockade supporters in front of University Press around 7:45pm.

The blast created huge panic among the pedestrians of the area.

In Nilkhet, two siblings were injured in a cocktail blast near Balaka Cinema Hall around 7:30pm.

The injured-- Hashi, 35 and her sister Ria Moni, 22 --were rushed to the Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH).
