Bangladesh Plunges into Chaos: Another Leader Shot Amid Spiraling Violence

  • Youth leader Sharif Osman Hadi shot dead; NCP leader Muhammad Motaleb Sikdar critically injured in separate attacks.
  • Hadi's death sparked widespread protests, arson attacks on media offices, and the lynching of Hindu youth Dipu Chandra Das.
  • India's Assistant High Commissioner's home attacked; India suspended Chittagong visa operations over staff safety concerns.
  • Interim government condemns violence; former PM Sheikh Hasina blames current administration for lawlessness and strained India ties.
  • India refutes Bangladesh's "misleading propaganda" regarding protests outside its High Commission in New Delhi.

Why It Matters: Bangladesh faces escalating political violence, instability, and strained international relations under the interim government.
