Three boys hurt in blast
Three students were injured in a bomb explosion when they were playing at their school compound at Sadapur village in Savar yesterday.
Injured Nazmul, 6, Nayan, 7, and Al Islam, 6, are the students of class I of Sadapur Govt Primary School.
Police and witnesses said some three to four students found a packet containing seven ball-like objects wrapped in red tape on the school premises around 11:30am.
When a student picked one object in his hand from the packet, it exploded and injured the three, they said.
Savar police recovered six other unexploded bombs from the spot.
Police said Sujon, a student of class V, had earlier found the packet in front of Apu Board Mills, a carton factory adjacent to the school, and took it to his home.
As Sujon's mother rebuked him for bringing the packet home, he left it at their school, police added.
Police detained five workers of the factory Abdur Rahman, Jahangir, Rahman Miah, Nayan and Baset; and Sujon for questioning.
