At least 10 people were injured in two separate bomb blasts in Chuadanga on Wednesday and Thursday. Unidentified men attacked the house of Sabur Ali at Majhpara village in Alamdanga upazila of the district yesterday. Police said the men went to Sabur's house at about 12:00noon and shouted for him to come out. When locals heard the calls and came forward, the men threw two bombs, injuring at least eight people. Of the injured, Santu, 30, and Rezaul, 40, were admitted to Chuadanga Sadar Hospital while Liton, 30, and Robiul, 22, was sent to Khulna Medical College Hospital. Police said Sabur has leased two government beels (water body). The attack might have been triggered over control of the beels, police added. In another incident, unidentified men threw four bombs at two night guards of Singnagar Beel at about 11:00pm on Wednesday. They are Abdul Mannan, 25, and Buro, 30, of Gangapara of the district. They were admitted to Chuadanga Sadar Hospital. Mannan was sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital yesterday as his condition turned critical. Shukur Ali, an influential of Jubo League, has leased the government beel. Police suspect rivals of the same organisation for the bombing, over control of the beel.
