Dhaka: Unidentified men on Friday attacked the car of the Indian High Commissioner in Bangladesh, injuring three, including the driver. The miscreants hurled three crude bombs at the parked car that is being used by the Indian envoy during a visit to southwestern Khulna district.
"The High Commissioner (Pankaj Saran) is completely unhurt and there is nothing to be worried about... he will return to Dhaka in line with his visit schedule," an Indian high commission spokesman said.
A police official in Khulna said unidentified miscreants hurled the bombs in front of a number of parked cars while the Indian envoy was in a meeting with the local chamber leaders. Assistant police commissioner Abul Kalam Azad said the explosions slightly wounded three people, including his driver, but the cars were undamaged and a massive manhunt was launched to track down those who exploded the bombs.
"We suspect that activists of Jamaat-e-Islami exploded the bombs ahead of their planned general strike in the (Khulna) district to create fear among public so their programme could be enforced...we think it is a stray incident," the official said....
