The Dhaka North unit of the National Citizen Party (NCP) organized a torch procession in the capital on Monday night to protest a bomb attack on the party’s rally in Savar. The procession began around midnight in front of the NCP central office at Banglamotor and ended at Shahbagh after parading through several city streets. A brief rally was held at the base of the July Memorial in Shahbagh, where senior joint convener and Dhaka North convener Ariful Islam Adib addressed participants.

NCP joint member secretary Zainal Abedin Shishir, joint chief coordinator Arifur Rahman Tuhin, and other leaders and activists from the Dhaka North unit joined the procession. After the rally, party leaders demanded justice for the Savar attack and called for effective measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

Earlier, a cocktail explosion occurred during an NCP rally in Savar, injuring at least four people, which prompted the protest in Dhaka.
