Commanding Officer of RAB-5 Lieutenant Colonel Mahbub Alam in a briefing after the explosion said, after detecting the cocktails and explosives, a team of RAB cordoned off the whole area last night and recovered cocktails, machetes and explosives. As the explosives were sewed in a bag, it was very risky to open and that is why the bomb disposal unit exploded it in presence of the media men, he added.
