Update : 09 Nov 2026, 07:53 PM

A crude bomb exploded again in the Teacher-Student Centre (TSC) area of Dhaka University (DU) on Monday evening, prompting students to detain a man suspected of involvement in the incident.

The detainee was later handed over to the university's proctorial team, which, along with students, took him to Shahbagh Police Station.

The explosion occurred around 6:40pm, and the man was taken to the police station around 6:45pm.

DU Proctor Professor Dr Israfil Ratan said students detained a person shortly after the explosion and handed him over to the proctorial team.

He said the detainee's identity had not yet been established. The university authorities were reviewing CCTV footage to identify those involved in the incident.

The latest blast comes a day after crude bomb exploded at four separate locations on the DU campus on Sunday evening.

The explosions were reported near the university's administrative building, the VC Chattar, the Muktir and Ganatantra Toron near Nilkhet, and the TSC area around 6:30pm.

Students detained two people while they were allegedly attempting to explode crude bomb in the TSC area and handed them over to the proctorial team.

There were also suspicions that the cocktails had been thrown towards TSC from the direction of Suhrawardy Udyan.

Following Sunday's incidents, the university authorities said they were examining CCTV footage to establish what had happened and informed Shahbagh police.
