A cocktail explosion occurred near the Election Commission building in Agargaon in the capital. The cocktail explosion occurred at 11:10 pm on Saturday (October 25). At that time, law enforcement officials arrested a person named Shuvo while he was fleeing on a motorcycle after the explosion.
\nAfter visiting the scene, Tejgaon Zone DC Ibne Mizan said that additional police have been deployed after the incident. The presence of hawker shops around the Election Commission building has encouraged miscreants to carry out such activities.
\nLaw enforcement officials have demanded the removal of the shops around the Election Commission building. Meanwhile, the DC said that more detailed information will be available after the investigation. He also mentioned that it will be investigated whether it is sabotage or someone is trying to create a destabilizing situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
