Dhaka, Bangladesh: Reuters —
Violence erupted in Bangladesh as at least 91 people were killed and hundreds injured during clashes on Sunday. The protesters, demanding Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s resignation, faced tear gas and rubber bullets from the police. This incident marked the highest death toll in recent history, surpassing the previous record of 67 deaths during protests against job quotas for government positions.
The government imposed a curfew and a three-day holiday to control the unrest, which has led to internet shutdowns. Critics accuse Hasina’s administration of using excessive force while the government denies the allegations. The situation escalated as protesters blocked highways and engaged in violent acts nationwide.
The army has been directed to ensure public safety and state security, highlighting the seriousness of the situation. With casualties rising and tensions mounting, the future remains uncertain in Bangladesh.
