Police have detained three individuals over the crude bomb explosion in Zajira Upazila of Shariatpur that killed two people and injured several others.

The explosion occurred in the Mulai Beparikandi area of Bilaspur Union, reportedly when crude bombs were being made in a house.

The Criminal Investigation Department on Friday sent a team to the scene to collect evidence.

Zajira Police Station chief Saleh Ahmed said the scene is littered with evidence, with the house where the bomb was being made completely blown away, throwing evidence all over the place.

The explosion occurred on Thursday at a newly built house.

The explosion killed Sohan Bepari, 32, on the spot. His wrists were blown off. The other victim Nobin Hossain, 28, passed away at Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Two other injured people are undergoing treatment at a private hospital.
