The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has said activities involving cocktail explosions in the capital are being carried out on the instructions of central leaders of the banned Awami League to create panic among the public.
Molla Md Shaheen, deputy commissioner of DMP’s Wari Division, made the statement at a press briefing at the DMP Media Centre on Sunday (September 20).
He said a man named Raihan, an Awami League activist from the Bangshal unit, was arrested over a cocktail blast in front of Jatrabari Police Station on Thursday. Police learned about the alleged involvement of banned party leaders during his preliminary interrogation, he said.
