Blast before Khulna DIG's house

Miscreants have bombed the residences of Khulna's deputy inspector general (DIG) of police and district judge amid an ongoing violent BNP-sponsored blockade across Bangladesh.

Several explosions were reported around the same time in parts of the city on Thursday night.

No casualty was reported.

Khunla Sadar Police Station's OC Sukumar Biswas said an improvised bomb had been exploded in front of the DIG's house at around 9:30pm.

"Around that time, miscreants exploded bombs in front of the district judge's house, Harintana Police Station, Tutparha central road intersection and PTI Morh," he said.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said there had been at least 85 incidents of attacks on police during the BNP's blockade.

Feni's executive magistrate had been assaulted, while the house of Chapainawabganj chief judicial magistrate was bombed.

Earlier, the ancestral house of a High Court judge had been torched and the Dhaka residence of another was attacked.

The government, police and RAB have announced cash rewards for information on the saboteurs.
