Police recovered six unexploded sound grenades from inside the boundary near the main gate of the Supreme Court in Dhaka on Sunday afternoon. The grenades were discovered around 12:30 p.m. by High Court cleaning staff during routine cleaning work. They immediately informed Shahbagh Police Station, which dispatched a team to the site. The Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit’s bomb disposal team later arrived to handle the situation.

According to Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Media and Public Relations Deputy Commissioner Muhammad Talebur Rahman, the CTTC bomb disposal unit safely removed the grenades and transported them to Suhrawardy Udyan, where they were defused following proper safety procedures. Authorities have begun investigating the incident to determine how the grenades ended up near the court premises.

The discovery prompted heightened security measures around the Supreme Court area as police continued their inquiry into the source and purpose of the abandoned explosives.
