Police in Dinajpur have dismissed social media reports regarding cocktail explosions at four locations, including the main gate of the Deputy Commissioner's (DC) office, terming them baseless rumors.

The claims emerged after video clips were posted on Sunday (November 8) night from a Facebook page named "Awami League Dinajpur". The posts claimed that cocktail explosions occurred after 10:00 PM at the DC office main entrance as well as at Maharaja Mor, Kanchan Ghat, Dashmile, and Pulhat areas of the town.

Following the social media posts, a team from the Special Response Battalion (SRB) visited the spot in front of the DC office main gate at around 12:30 AM to inspect the location.

According to the online posts, two individuals on a motorcycle reportedly detonated a cocktail outside the DC office before fleeing the scene, after which video footage and status updates alleging explosions across multiple sites were uploaded.

However, Dinajpur Additional Superintendent of Police Abdul Halim clarified that no such explosions took place. "Fake information is being circulated from various fraudulent Facebook accounts. No cocktail explosions occurred. Police patrols were intensified across all areas on the occasion of Dipaboli," he said.
