Witnesses said three youths riding a motorcycle threw a crude bomb at Abbas’ Shahjahanpur residence around 10pm.
The thugs also fired 8-9 gunshots targeting his house. However, there was no report of any casualty in the incident.
In another incident, 8-10 masked youths in four motorbikes stormed into the house of Salam’s Shantinagar house around 9pm.
They blasted two crude bombs in front of the house and fired five rounds of shots targeting the house, damaging its windowpanes.
However, no one was injured in the attack.
Meanwhile, miscreants threw five crude bombs at the house of Dhaka district unit BNP president Abdul Mannan around 11:20 pm.
