A police constable sustained injuries after a cocktail was hurled at a patrol vehicle from a motorcycle procession staged by activists of the banned student organization Chhatra League in Dhaka's Kurmitola area on Thursday morning (November 5).
Three individuals have been detained in connection with the incident.
According to police, the attack occurred around 7:30 AM in front of Kurmitola General Hospital along the Airport Road.
Cantonment Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Muhammad Ghiyas Uddin confirmed that the cocktail was thrown at the police patrol vehicle stationed near the Army Golf Club by participants of the motorcycle rally, injuring the driver.
He stated that security forces detained three suspects following subsequent operations, and their identities and involvement are being verified. Authorities are reviewing CCTV footage to identify and apprehend the remaining motorcyclists involved in the attack, while the injured police officer receives medical treatment.
Police sources reported that a convoy of 70 to 78 motorcycles traveling from Banani towards Kuril Bishwa Road, chanting the "Joy Bangla" slogan, reached the Kurmitola General Hospital area when an unidentified individual from the procession threw a cocktail targeting the Cantonment Police patrol vehicle. The resulting explosion caused shrapnel and blast injuries to the left eye of police driver Constable Md. Enamul.
He was initially rushed to the emergency department of Kurmitola General Hospital and subsequently transferred on a physician's advice to the National Institute of Ophthalmology and Hospital in Agargaon, where he is currently undergoing treatment.
