Local authorities have increased security in the area and are gathering evidence as part of the ongoing investigation. No injuries were immediately reported, and officials have urged the public to avoid speculation until the inquiry is complete.
The incident comes during a period of heightened political tensions in Bangladesh, where political developments continue to generate strong public reactions.
