Tamanna Chowdhury Priyanka, convener of Mymensingh metropolitan Jubo Mohila League, has drawn attention after applying to file a case against former interim government chief adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus and 26 others. The application alleges vandalism and arson at the Dhanmondi 32 residence of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in the capital. The report was published on August 21, 2026.

Priyanka has been active in local Awami League politics for a long time and became more visible locally when she contested for a women’s councillor post in the 2019 Mymensingh City Corporation election. Her legal initiative seeks action against those allegedly involved in the Dhanmondi 32 incident, according to the report.

The report says Awami League and affiliated organisations’ political activities were banned after the 2024 political change, while many leaders and activists went into hiding, left the country or were arrested in different cases. Some observers have raised concerns about whether her public activity could create law-and-order complications, though no statement from law-enforcement agencies or relevant authorities was reported. Priyanka’s name has also been discussed locally in connection with the killing of Redwan Hossain Sagar in Mymensingh on July 19, 2024.
