Cocktail blast before NCP’s central office, 3 injured

A cocktail was reportedly thrown below the Rupayan Trade Centre, the temporary central office of the National Citizen Party (NCP) in Dhaka’s Bangla Motor area.

The NCP stated that three party members were wounded in this connection.

In protest, the party leaders staged a demonstration following the incident that took place around 11:15 PM on Monday (June 23).

The injured are Shafiqul Islam, central organizer of NCP’s labor wing, Abdur Rob, central organizer of Jatiya Juba Shakti, and Asif Uddin Samrat, NCP’s Dhaka Metropolitan leader.

Senior Joint Convener of NCP, Ariful Islam Adib, said, “Some 50-60 people surrounded Member Secretary Akhtar Hossain when he came down to the Rupayan Tower office. After the signal at Bangla Motor intersection cleared, a white Hiace car suddenly threw a cocktail bomb targeting the party leaders and activists. The vehicle sped away as soon as the cocktail was thrown. Three people were injured in this incident. However, Akhtar Hossain left unharmed.”
