At least seven powerful bombs went off one after another inside a tin-shed house in Chhoto Gurgola area in the town on Thursday morning, leaving three persons injured।

Police said they later recovered from the house three shutter guns, one revolver, 13 cartridges, three bombs, some bullets of 303 rifle.
Of the injured, Badal, 18, was rescued by neighbours and admitted to Dinajpur Sadar Hospital with critical burn injuries on his face and lower part of body, police and hospital sources said. Some sources said he was a rickshaw-puller and some others said he was a madrassah student.
The neighbours said, hearing the explosions, they came out and saw two young men with their clothes blood-stained ran out of the house, got into a waiting white microbus and sped away. They could not be identified.
The house caught fire after the explosions that panicked residents in the area. The fire service put out the fire.
Some seven madrassah teachers and students had been living in the two-room house for the last several months on rent, the neighbours claimed.
Police cordoned off the house and did not allow newsmen to
