A Dhaka court on Tuesday remanded two activists of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD), student wing of the main opposition BNP, for seven days on charge of hurling bombs at the residence of Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu on June 9.
Detectives arrested the duo in the capital earlier in the day.
Detective Branch of police picked up Akil Mahmud, 32, from Rupnagar at Pallabi while Mahbubul Alam, 28, from Baily Road in separate drives between 10:00am and 10:00pm, said Mohammad Touhidul Islam, a senior assistant commissioner of DB.
Metropolitan Magistrate Atiqur Rahman passed the order after the detectives produced the duo before him in the afternoon with a 10-day remand prayer.
On June 9, four homemade bombs were hurled at Inu’s residence in the capital’s Mirpur area.
The crude bombs exploded as they impaled the walls and windows of the first and second floors of the building.
The minister lives on the first floor with his family, while his sister, advocate Laila Rashid, lives on the second.
Neither of them was at home during the blasts.
Earlier on June 15, law enforcers arrested two activists of JCD in Chandpur district town on a charge of hurling crude bombs at Foreign Minister Dipu Moni’s residence in the capital on May 28.
