A mortar shell resembling a bomb was recovered from a pond in Dhanua Kamalpur, a border area of Bakshiganj upazila in Jamalpur district, on Wednesday evening, April 22, 2026. The shell was found in the pond of a local resident named Sada Mia in South Kamalpur village. A local woman noticed the object while feeding her goat near the pond and initially mistook it for a piece of metal. Locals informed the police after realizing it was an old mortar shell.
Police from Bakshiganj station arrived at the scene and took the shell into custody under guard. The object is currently being kept under police protection. Officials believe the rusted shell may date back to the 1971 Liberation War period and remained unexploded for decades. Bakshiganj Upazila Nirbahi Officer Murad Hossain visited the site following the recovery.
Authorities have not reported any injuries or explosions, and the shell remains secured while further examination is expected.
