Police recovered 39 homemade bombs in an abandoned condition from a field near Ashik Plaza in the town on Tuesday night. Acting on a tip-off, a police team led by Md Mahfuzur Rahman, assistant sub-inspector (ASI) of Brahmanbaria Sadar police station, raided the field on the east side of Ashik Plaza around 11:40pm and recovered the bombs wrapped with red tape. 'To avoid possible explosion, we have kept all the bombs in three plastic water buckets on the police station compound,' said officer-in-charge (OC) of Sadar police station Gazi Md Shakhawat Hossain said. Although the recovered bombs looked like homemade hand bombs, the OC claimed them as cocktails. The OC said that police recovered more than 100 'cocktails' in the last 35 days from several areas of Brahmanbaria town. On April 7, police recovered seven 'cocktails,' a map of Bangladesh and several documents in an abandoned condition from one Kabir's house at North Mourail under Brahmanbaria municipality. On April 5, police found five cocktails in an abandoned condition at Kazipara Saydunnesa Madrassa. On March 24, OC Shakhawat along with his team recovered 55 more 'coctails' from Bhadughar area of the town. Acting on a tip-off, a team led by the OC himself raided a place near Bhadughar Railway Bridge and recovered 34 'cocktails' wrapped with red tape and found 21 other 'cocktails' at a sand field in Bhadughar area.
