Bangladesh Ncp Rally Explosion Savar Dhaka Three Injured Sheikh Hasina

At least 3 people were injured in a bomb explosion at a student-led NCP rally in Savar near Dhaka in Bangladesh on Monday night. NCP convener and Dhaka-11 MP Nahid Islam was present at the site when the explosion occurred. Islam was one of the key faces of the July 2024 revolt, which eventually led to the ouster of former PM Sheikh Hasina.

The rally of the newly formed political party, the National Citizen Party (NCP), was led by students opposing former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Arifur Rahman Tuhin, joint chief coordinator of NCP, confirmed the incident, says Dhaka Tribune. He said, “Savar NCP’s July march came under the attack, leaving at least three people injured. They have been taken to Enam Medical College Hospital for treatment. Their identities could not be confirmed immediately.”

The explosion occurred around 9:45 pm at the Eidgah Ground near Savar Thana Stand, where the party was holding its rally following a march. NCP central member Yassir Arafat told Dhaka Tribune that the blast took place while Dhaka District NCP Convener Engineer Nabila Tasnid was addressing the gathering.

NCP convener and Opposition chief whip Nahid Islam, Member Secretary Akhtar Hossain, MP, and Chief Organiser (Northern Region) Sarjis Alam, along with other central leaders, were on the stage at the time of the explosion.
