None was injured in that blasts, police said. Howladar claimed that the attack was made by supporters of BNP lawmaker Abul Hossain Khan to kill his wife because he will not get alliance nomination if she seeks ticket for the coming election. Denying the allegation, local BNP leaders said it as a 'managed incident' to create sensation and win people's support. Haniful Islam, officer-in-charge of Bakerganj police station said police heard the explosions and saw smoke but found no splinter or other evidences of bomb at the spot.
