A joint security force arrested a BNP activist, Razzak Molla, along with 16 homemade bombs in Jhenaidah’s Kaliganj upazila late Monday night. Razzak is reportedly an active member of the BNP, while his son serves as a joint convenor of the local Chhatra Dal unit. Mohammad Ali Bhulu, former general secretary of Jamal Union BNP, confirmed Razzak’s affiliation with the party but distanced the organization from the explosives, saying, "The party will not take responsibility for what was recovered from him."
