Dhaka: Violence in Bangladesh has escalated to a critical level, now affecting government officials, public figures, judges, and even the military. Recently, a clash occurred in the Gopalganj area where an army vehicle was attacked. According to a report by the Dhaka Tribune, the incident resulted in injuries to 15 individuals, including army personnel, journalists, and local residents. Two of the injured were reportedly shot during the altercation, which took place around 4 p.m. on Saturday. The violence erupted as thousands of Awami League supporters took to the streets, demanding the return of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The situation intensified when soldiers attempted to disperse the protesters, leading to a confrontation. The protesters, who had blocked the Dhaka-Khulna highway, began throwing bricks at the military personnel when asked to clear the road. The soldiers responded by using batons, but the situation quickly spiraled out of control. The crowd vandalized an army vehicle, setting it ablaze. Lieutenant Colonel Maksudur Rahman of the Gopalganj Camp confirmed the incident, noting that between 3,000 and 4,000 people had gathered at the scene. He also mentioned that several army personnel were injured in the attack. Former Gopinathpur Union President Lachhu Sharif stated that army members fired shots to control the situation, resulting in injuries to two individuals, including a child. Fortunately, there were no fatalities.

In response to the ongoing unrest in Bangladesh, the Assam Police have been placed on high alert along the India-Bangladesh border. The Director General of Police, G.P. Singh, announced that strict measures are in place to prevent illegal crossings into India. The Indian government has issued directives to ensure that no one enters the country illegally from Bangladesh.

Amidst the turmoil, religious minorities in Bangladesh are also being targeted. Several Hindu temples have been set on fire. Interim government head Mohammad Yunus condemned the attacks on minority communities on Saturday, calling them heinous acts. He urged the youth to protect Hindu, Christian, and Buddhist families. According to the Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council and the Bangladesh Puja Udyapan Parishad, there have been at least 205 reported incidents of attacks on minority communities in 53 districts since the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government on August 5.
