Two people have been detained with a huge stash of firebombs from Dhaka’s Kafrul area last night, police said claiming they were attempting sabotage.

“They were caught red handed while trying to carry out subversive activities at Shadhinota Chattar around 11:30pm last night,” said Shikdar Shamim, officer-in-charge of Kafrul Police Station.

A total of 135 petrol bombs were seized from them.

The arrestees, whose identities could not be ascertained, were shown arrested in a fresh case filed under special powers act. They are currently in jail.

During primary quizzing, they said to have confessed carrying out subversive activities in Dhaka for quite some time.
