A factional feud among BNP leaders and activists centering the National Revolution and Solidarity Day program led to numerous cocktail explosions in Daganbhuiyan, Feni. On Sunday afternoon, a rally led by upazila BNP convener Akbar Hossain sparked panic, forcing local businesses to close temporarily and halting traffic on the Feni-Noakhali regional highway.
Witnesses claimed that over fifty to a hundred cocktails were exploded before and after the rally, where participants were also seen wearing helmets and carrying sticks. During a brief rally, local leaders addressed the crowd regarding internal disputes and local issues.
Meanwhile, Daganbhuiyan Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Foyzul Azim Noman stated that the program ended peacefully and claimed the sounds were firecrackers from Kali Puja rather than cocktail blasts. Previously, on September 2, a clash between the two factions had resulted in multiple injuries.
