Police on Tuesday arrested two persons and seized 25 Molotov cocktails and three machetes from them who allegedly tried to create chaos near an under-construction building in the city's Senpara. Rubel, 23, and Masum Billah, 20, with two others of a gang made the attempt, as the owner of the building has been refusing to pay their extortion demand for long since, said Sub-inspector Sheikh Matiar Rahman of Kafrul Police Station. Meanwhile, police arrested a person, identified as Md Kabir, 19, with a revolver in Pallabi in the city.
