Police recovered 73 crude bombs and a large number of bomb-making materials from a house in the capital’s Lalbagh on Tuesday night.
Two persons were also detained in this regard. They were identified as Badsha, 44, the caretaker of the house and guard Alam.
The ADC of Lalbagh police Abida Sultana said the bombs and the materials were recovered from the house of Md Newaz, the joint general secretary of the Juba Dal central committee. The police, however, could not find Newaz.
“RAB 10 and Lalbagh police jointly conducted a drive at around 12am. All those materials were recovered from a third-floor flat of the seven-storey building,” she said.
The recovered materials included 2kg potassium, a large amount of splinters and other necessary equipment for bomb making.
“More than one thousand crude bombs could be made from the recovered bomb-making materials” she added.
