According to eyewitnesses, explosions took place beside the university's administrative building, in the Vice-Chancellor's residence area, near the Mukti O Ganatantra Toron, and in the TSC area. 

Another crude bomb exploded in front of the Nawab Nawab Ali Chowdhury Senate Bhaban, according to reports.
