An allegation has surfaced that campaign banners of Jamaat-e-Islami candidate Nurul Islam Bulbul were vandalized and set on fire in Chapainawabganj-3 (Sadar) constituency. The incident occurred on Wednesday night in Ward No. 3 of Srirampur village under Baliyadanga Union. It remains unclear who was responsible for the arson. Local sources said miscreants deliberately set fire to festoons placed in different parts of the village, completely burning several of them.

Candidate Nurul Islam Bulbul described the incident as a deliberate and condemnable act aimed at disrupting the democratic environment. He also termed it a threat to the area’s peace and order. In response, Chapainawabganj Sadar Upazila Nirbahi Officer and Assistant Returning Officer Maruf Afzal Rajan stated that police had been sent to the scene after receiving a verbal complaint, and law enforcement agencies were investigating the matter.

Five candidates are contesting in the Chapainawabganj-3 constituency, representing BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami, JSD, Islami Andolan, and Gano Adhikar Parishad respectively.
