The blast took place around 9:15 a.m., causing minor injuries to the victims. The injured were identified as Ansar members Md. Jamal Molla and Sukanta Majumder, and 13-year-old Amena Khanam. Local officials, including the assistant commissioner (land) Babli Shabnam, arrived at the scene shortly after the incident.

Witnesses reported a loud explosion and smoke inside the center, suggesting that an explosive device was thrown from outside to create panic among voters.
