One killed as violence flares in Bangladesh amid tensions over ex-PM Hasina's planned return
Police blamed a banned Awami League group for bombings and arson that killed one person and led to 33 arrests, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Bangladesh Police reported one death and at least 33 arrests following overnight violence amid escalating tensions over ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's planned return from India next month.
- Hasina has lived in India since fleeing a student-led uprising in August 2024 that ended her 15-year rule; the government under Prime Minister Tarique Rahman continues seeking her extradition despite her 2025 conviction.
- Mohammad Akhtar Hossain, a police spokesman, confirmed at least 33 arrests Monday, while 15 crude bombs exploded in Manikganj district and a bus driver died after his vehicle was set ablaze.
- State Minister for Foreign Affairs Humaiun Kobir ruled out issuing a passport, saying Bangladesh did not provide travel documents to "terrorists," and insisted she must apply in person rather than by email.
- Although Hasina intends to return voluntarily in December, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party claims her followers seek to destabilize the country, and Bangladesh Police maintain that a banned organization carried out the attacks.
