Police has completed its investigation into the blast that blinded a schoolgirl during a hartal on March 28 last year and is expected to submit the charge sheet of the case with a week against 14 Jamaat-Shibir men.
On March 28, 2013, Antu Barua, a student of class nine of Aparnacharan City Corporation Girls High School, received injuries in her right eye after a crude bomb exploded in front of her when she was on her way to coaching centre on Momin Road in the city on the second day of the then BNP-led 18-party alliance enforced 36-hour long shutdown.
