Miscreants set fire to three buses at various locations in the capital on Saturday evening.
Additionally, four crude bombs (cocktails) were detonated in the Jatrabari area.
On Saturday evening, around 7:15 pm, passenger buses belonging to 'Abhijat Paribahan' (at Mirpur-1) and 'Shikhor Paribahan' (at Pallabi-11) were set ablaze almost simultaneously.
