According to the press release, two Narayanganj residents, Masum and Sojib, received an order to supply a large quantity of handmade bombs 8-10 days ago. They subsequently hired Fahim, Limon, and Akul for Tk 26,000 and provided the necessary materials for manufacturing the bombs.
"They rented a room in the capital's Badda area and began working on Wednesday evening. Their goal was to produce about 100 bombs. However, RAB raided the location and apprehended the trio before they could complete their task," the press release noted.
Reportedly, the team consists of five experts, each specializing in a different aspect of the bomb-making process.
The bombs were allegedly ordered by miscreants in Gazipur.
The procedure of filing a case in this regard is underway, police confirmed.
