Police have recovered two unexploded crude bombs and a handwritten note threatening to kill a local BNP leader from his home in Jashore Sadar upazila.
The incident took place at the house of Shimul Hossain in Chhatiantala village this morning (13 November). Shimul is the education affairs secretary of Churamonkati Union BNP and a teacher at Chhatiantala Churamonkati Secondary School.
The note contained a death threat and abusive language directed at Shimul.
According to Shimul, he spotted two objects resembling tobacco containers wrapped in red tape on one side of his courtyard in the morning. On closer inspection, he suspected they were crude bombs and alerted police.
Police later recovered the two unexploded bomb-like objects and the note found beside them.
“I think someone threw the crude bombs into my house last night. Those who want to destabilise the country are behind such acts. They wanted to create panic by detonating the crude bombs at my home, but they did not explode,” Shimul said.
He added that the incident had spread fear in the neighbourhood.
Jashore Kotwali Model Police Station Officer-in-Charge Kabir Hossain said Additional Superintendent of Police Saiful Islam, along with teams from the Detective Branch, Kotwali Police Station and Sajiayali Police Outpost, visited the scene.
They spoke to locals and recovered the two unexploded bomb-like objects and the note, he said, adding that an investigation was underway.
Churamonkati Union BNP President Professor Abu Sayeed, General Secretary Master Mizanur Rahman and other local party leaders also visited the house following the incident.
Condemning the incident, they demanded that those responsible be identified and brought to justice.
The incident came a day after a series of crude bomb explosions at several key locations in Jashore town, including areas near court premises.
Between around 8:30pm and 10pm yesterday, several explosions were reported across the city.
Two crude bombs exploded with loud bangs in front of the old court building on Mujib Road between 8:15pm and 8:30pm. Around the same time, another exploded in front of the July Memorial Monument in the Bakultala area.
Explosions were also reported inside the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court premises and near the Upazila Nirbahi Officer’s office.
According to locals, several people arrived on motorcycles, hurled the crude bombs, and fled. The explosions produced loud noises and smoke, but no casualties were reported.
A police source said district police have arrested 13 leaders and activists of the Awami League, whose activities are banned, and its affiliated organisations on preliminary suspicion over the explosions.
Additional police have been deployed at key points in the town, and special patrols have been intensified since the incidents.
