Car driver hurt in crude bomb blast on DU campus

A driver of a private car sustained injuries in an explosion of a crude bomb in front of the Faculty of Business Studies (FBS) on Dhaka University campus on Tuesday afternoon.

The incident took place around 2:15pm, witnesses said.

However, none of the witnesses could confirm where the bomb had come from. They said it might have been dropped from one of the floors of the FBS building, landing on a car parked below before exploding and injuring its driver.

The injured driver was taken to the emergency department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, where he is receiving treatment.

DU Proctor Israfil Ratan confirmed the injury. He said he had sent a team to the spot and would provide further details after receiving their findings.

Around the same time, another crude bomb exploded in front of the 'Shadow' intersection, adjacent to the site. No one was injured, but a private car was slightly damaged.
