Police in Bangladesh have fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse supporters of the deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who are demanding her return to the country.
A police vehicle was set on fire in Gopalganj district, where the banned student wing of Hasina’s Awami League party clashed with security forces.
Nationwide protests by pro-Hasina activists started a day after the former leader said she had requested a passport to return to Bangladesh from exile in India.
