Someone dropped the holy Quran at Nanua Dighi puja mandap under Cumilla Sadar Police Station around 7:30 a.m. on October 13th. Zealots used the tragedy to spread inflammatory and misleading propaganda. They flung bricks at the mandap in an attempt to vandalize the idol. They also attacked and set fire to a number of other mandaps in the area.

Seven persons were killed in attacks carried out in numerous other regions across the country.
