Kotwali Police Station Sub-Inspector Wahidur said police were not at the spot during the blasts.
The BNP-led 18-Party alliance has been agitating for long demanding polls under a non-party caretaker government. Academic activities at the JnU were disrupted like most other educational institutions due to the agitations.
However, recently the JnU authorities announced to continue academic activities despite the BNP-led alliance's agitations.
