Political tension has escalated in Dewanganj municipality of Jamalpur following allegations that activists of the banned Chhatra League detonated several crude bombs at multiple locations on Tuesday evening. In protest, local leaders and activists of the Chhatra Dal and BNP organized a motorcycle showdown across the town, demanding punishment for those responsible. The demonstration featured anti–Chhatra League slogans, and the situation in the area has since remained tense.

According to local sources, explosions reportedly occurred in the station area, Gabtoli, Kalitala, and other parts of Dewanganj, spreading panic among residents. Chhatra Dal leader Md. Biplob Mondal accused Chhatra League members, led by the organization’s upazila general secretary Sohel Rana, of orchestrating the blasts after failing to hold a rally two days earlier. However, Sohel Rana denied the allegations, claiming that neither he nor his associates were in the area and that BNP and Chhatra Dal members were attempting to defame them.

Dewanganj police chief Anwar Hossain stated that no physical evidence or eyewitnesses of explosions were found at the reported sites, but an investigation is underway to determine the cause and source of the alleged blasts.
