In 2004, members of JCD harassed the NGO
Proshika, resulting in damage to its headquarters and two local offices in Mehdiganj,
Barisal. These events occurred under the then
coalition government. On 11 September 2004, JCD activists targeted opposition student groups, journalists, and vandalized the office of Dhaka University Teachers Association president
AAMS Arefin Siddique. Additionally, on 15 October 2015, a conflict between Chatradal and
Chhatrashibir at BL College in Daulatpur led to the deployment of
Border Guard Bangladesh and riot police. In 2002, Sony, a student of
Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, died in a shootout between two factions of Chatradal. On 19 November 2006, JCD members attacked and injured five activists of Chhatra Sangram Parishad and detonated bombs at Dhaka University. The police filed cases against 150 JCD activists for attacking law enforcement during factional protests in
Sylhet. On 9 November 2008, Ashraful Islam Pintu, the president of the
Jhenaidah unit of JCD, was arrested with a gun and bomb. On 19 January 2010, factional clashes within Chatradal resulted in injuries to 25 people, including a proctor and four police officers. On 12 December 2010, 200 JCD activists attacked their own headquarters in
Naya Paltan over the formation of a unit committee. Saiduzzaman Pasha, a
Dhaka University JCD activist, was arrested on 28 January 2010 after photos of him armed with a gun during factional clashes emerged; he faced several criminal charges, including extortion. On 26 May 2013, JCD members vandalized 25 vehicles during protests in support of
Tarique Rahman in Dhaka. On 15 August 2013, JCD engaged in factional clashes during Khaleda Zia's birthday celebration in Chittagong, damaging private property. On 28 November 2013, JCD attacked a demonstration by the
Bangladesh Awami League's student wing
Bangladesh Chhatra League in
Narsingdi, resulting in the deaths of two Chhatra League members. On 9 July 2025, a scrap trader named Lal Chand Sohag was killed on the premises of Mitford Hospital in Dhaka. A video of the incident, which circulated widely on social media, showed Sohag being hacked, stoned, and his dead body being stomped on. The attackers were reportedly affiliated with the
Jatiotabadi Jubodal,
Swechhasebak Dal, and Chatra Dal—the youth and student wings of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). The incident occurred in broad daylight and drew widespread public condemnation. In response, law enforcement authorities arrested four suspects in connection with the case. The BNP subsequently expelled five members allegedly involved in the incident, following nationwide criticism and protests. == List of presidents and general secretaries ==
