Bangladesh has witnessed a fresh wave of unrest following the death of student leader Hadi last week. Hadi was a prominent face in the anti-government protests that toppled Sheikh Hasina's government.
Some of the protesters last week also trained their anger against India. Amid the fresh protests, a Hindu man, Dipu Chandra Das, was killed in Bangladesh's Mymensingh.
