Police rushed to the spot and later informed the Rapid Action Battalion (Rab-5). Later, a team of explosive experts of Rab-5 reached the spot at around 2:00pm and recovered the bombs hidden under sand. Identifying them as a kind of locally made remote controlled grenade, the team defused the four bombs. Ansarul Haque, an official of Rab-5 said, if exploded, the grenades could cause extensive damage to life and property. KM Ali Azam, deputy commissioner and Khondoker Shamim Hossain acting superintendent of police and other civil and police officials visited the spot.
