Bangladesh declared an indefinite nationwide curfew starting at 6 p.m. on Sunday, following clashes between the police and protesters that resulted in at least 76 deaths and numerous injuries.
At least 76 people have been killed, including 13 police officers, and dozens more injured in a new round of violence in Bangladesh as police fired tear gas and lobbed stun grenades to disperse tens of thousands of protesters who returned to the streets to ask Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to resign, Al-Jazeera reported.
The deaths were reported by the police and doctors on Sunday in the capital Dhaka and the northern districts of Bogura, Pabna and Rangpur, as well as in Magura in the west, Comilla in the east, and Barisal and Feni in the south.
