Bangladesh Unrest LIVE Updates: As Nobel laureate Mohammad Yunus was appointed the head of an interim government in Bangladesh on Tuesday (August 6), at least 24 people were burnt alive at a hotel owned by a leader of the Awami League. While the army took charge, 100 more deaths were reported overnight in incidents of violence in many parts of the country after Sheikh Hasina fled the country.
A number of Hindu temples, households and businesses were vandalised, women assaulted and at least two Hindu leaders affiliated with the Awami League party headed by Hasina were killed in the violence, as per two community leaders in Dhaka.
Hasina, meanwhile, landed at the Hindon airbase near Delhi in a Bangladesh military aircraft and is unlikely to move out of India for the next couple of days. She has been moved to an unspecified location under tight security.
