Several hand bombs exploded in front of the BNP’s offices in Naya Paltan, just before leaders left out of its student affiliate's committee were to congregate for protest.

The blasts around 12pm on Sunday did not leave anyone injured, said Paltan Police OC Morshed Alam.
But they disrupted traffic in front of the office for a while.
Police cleared that later with additional reinforcements.
The hand bombs were hurled sometime before those left out of the Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal’s new committee were to meet in the area.
Supporters of the JCD dissidents did not turn up for the meeting after the explosions.
“We think the hand bombs were exploded because of internal rivalries within the Chhatra Dal,” said OC Morshed. “We’re trying to find out who are responsible.”
