Could be blamed for the commotion! (6)
I believe the answer is:
bedlam
'the commotion' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'could be blamed' is the wordplay.
'could be' indicates anagramming the letters.
'blamed' is an anagram of 'BEDLAM'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for bedlam that I've seen before include "Scene of uproar and confusion" , "Blamed for pandemonium" , "commotion" , "Blammed for uproar" , "Place of uproar and confusion" .)
