A bomb-like pressure cooker was found in an open field near a mosque in Savar’s Sadapur area early today (12 August), prompting police to cordon off the area amid an ongoing Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) operation in nearby Shyampur.
The pressure cooker, wrapped in black electrical tape, was found inside a blue plastic drum at the Sadapur Goper Bari Laltek Ghora Mosque field around 1:30am, police said.
Locals first spotted clothes, a Quran and the pressure cooker inside the drum. They later removed the pressure cooker and left it in the mosque field, said Sub-Inspector Imran Hossain, in-charge of Savar’s Bhabanipur Police Camp.
Police were informed about the suspicious object around 8am and rushed to the scene, where they found the pressure cooker wrapped in black electrical tape.
“Based on the initial suspicion that it might be a bomb, the bomb disposal unit has already been informed,” SI Imran said.
Police cordoned off the field and were maintaining a safe distance from the object.
According to locals, three unidentified people left the plastic drum in the mosque field during the night.
