Two crude bombs exploded at the Faculty of Business Studies and Shadow area of University of Dhaka (DU), leaving two people including a private car driver injured.
The incidents occurred around 2:15pm on Tuesday.
Witnesses said that one crude bomb was thrown in front of the Shadow area and another in front of the Faculty of Business Studies. One of the bombs exploded on a private car parked beside the faculty building, seriously injuring the driver.
It is primarily suspected that the two crude bombs may have been thrown from the roof of the building. However, no information confirming this has yet been obtained.
DU Proctor Israfil Ratan said, “We have informed the police. Police have arrived at the scene. We are looking into the matter. At this stage, it cannot be confirmed who was behind the incident.”
He added, “It is highly likely that the crude bombs were thrown from the roof. One of them fell onto a vehicle parked below. The driver inside the vehicle was seriously injured. He has been taken for medical treatment.
“The car bears the logo of the University of Dhaka. It is believed that the car may belong to a teacher. We are investigating the matter seriously and will provide further updates later,” he also said.
