Seven 'wartime' grenades found in Naogaon

Police recovered seven grenades and ammunition from a septic tank at a compound of Sadar Hospital in Naogaon yesterday.

Zakirul Islam, officer-in-charge of Naogaon Sadar Police Station, told The Daily Star that some workers found the ammunition around 1:45pm while cleaning a compound for constructing a building there.

Informed by the workers, police rushed to the spot and recovered seven grenades and forty rounds of bullets.

Police suspected that the ammunition might have been dumped there during the Liberation War.

However, police could not confirm if the grenades were still alive.
