Two gangs of unidentified miscreants yesterday exploded some crude bombs during a clash reportedly ensued over a Tk10 crore tender submission of local education engineering directorate.
Later, the miscreants hurled several crude bombs at the house of former Awami League MP Khaledur Rahman Tito and beat up his son.
On the other hand, any police officials surprisingly denied to make comment in this regard as both masterminds, who are responsible for the clash, were allegedly from the ruling party Awami League.
Earlier, the directorate had floated the tender for building two dormitories in Jessore Government Michael Madhusudan College and its deadline for submission was yesterday.
Witness Zillur Rahman Vito, general secretary of Jessore unit Workers’ Party, said some miscreants around 10am tried to prevent Tito’s sons Masuk Hasan Joy and Habib Hasan Babu when they were on the way to drop the tender at Jessore Education Engineering Office. A scuffle ensued between both parties there as well, which was later ended on arrival of police.
Around 12pm, when Joy and Babo along with their followers again tried to drop the tender the miscreants hurled crude bombs at them, creating a counter bomb attack. However, none was injured in the blasts.
Acknowledging the blasts Kotwali police station OC Sikder Akkas Ali said the musclemen of former AL lawmaker Khaledur Rahman Tito exploded two crude bombs.
However, the situation finally was under their control and all sides enabled to drop their tender, the OC went on.
When asked, Tito alleged that the local DC and the SP did not pay proper heed to his concern although he earlier informed them that hoodlums would resist his tender drop.
The miscreants stabbed his younger son Babu while he was on move to drop the tender and they later hurled several crude bombs at his house, the former MP continued.
