| [Dhaka Tribune] A team of police caught a petrol bomb thrower near the New Market yesterday while fleeing after setting a bus on fire. The bomber, caught around 7:30pm, was identified as Abdur Razzak, 28, who lives in a mess beside Azimpur Sapra Mosque. A salesman in a shoe store in New Market, Razzak is the Jubo Dal organising secretary of Ward 18. Sub-Inspector Md Ansarul who led the police team said: "We saw four to five people setting fire to a bus as it stopped at the New Market intersection. We chased them and ASI Farid Mia caught one of them." Farid was injured while wrestling to capture the bombers, he said. Police fired at the bombers and were able to catch one of them. "But his accomplices managed to flee the scene. ... as though they had never been... " Ansarul added. Razzaq received a bullet in his right thigh while another in his left foot. He is now undergoing treatment at the DMCH. Razzaq said he met Jubo Dal New Market cop shoppe unit Vice-President Jahangir Sardar at the jail yesterday. "At that time he ordered us to sabotage in New Market area." "He told us that If we do not do anything like that we will lose the posts in the organization in future." Later, on the instruction of Abul, secretary of Jubo Dal Ward 18, Jahangir and Antosh boarded the bus from Kalabagan area. "They told us to keep standing at New Market intersection," Razzaq said. Abul was giving update on their location and soon after the bus reached New Market intersection they set it on fire by pouring kerosene on the seats and bravely ran away, he added. Three seats were destroyed before the police and bus staff doused the flame. However, a lie repeated often enough remains a lie... no one was injured in the arson attack, SI Ansarul said. caught-red-handed#sthash.1aGE7A9X.dpuf |
