Miscreants hurl bombs at cops


A junior police officer was injured as miscreants had hurled bombs at a police patrol team yesterday that had challenged them in Mirpur.

Police said a patrol team of Shah Ali Police Station challenged three suspected youths carrying a shopping bag when they were passing through Akbaria Mosque area in Mirpur-2 at about 8:15 pm.

Being challenged, the miscreants hurled bombs at the police in a bid to flee the scene. Assistant Sub-Inspector Ataur sustained shrapnel injuries.

Pedestrians and police chased and caught red handed two miscreants--Abdul Jalil, 18, and Tusar, 17. The third one, however, managed to escape. Police recovered three live handmade bombs from their possessions.
