Burn unit chief Samanta Lal Sen earlier demanded an end to incidents of arson during political violence, saying: “Being a doctor, I want an end to the humanitarian disaster.”
The reward was announced hours after unidentified persons exploded two crude bombs in front of a Dhaka court, causing panic among people as a nationwide blockade by the opposition entered its third day today.
No one was injured by the blasts, police said.
The 18-party opposition alliance led by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party has been enforcing nationwide blockades since November 26 to push its demand for postponement of the January 5 general election.
The opposition wants the installation of a non-party caretaker government for election oversight but Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's Awami League has rejected the demand for being “unconstitutional”.
The opposition has demanded that the polls should be shelved as more than half of the candidates are set to be elected unopposed to the 300-seat parliament in the absence of opposition candidates.
