Student’s death sparks violence in Bangladesh
Traffic was brought to a standstill on the city’s busy Mirpur street for several hours, Alam said.
Police arrested the driver of a bus that hit the student and brought the mob under control by firing tear gas canisters into the crowd, he said.
Road accidents in Bangladesh annually kill around 5,000 people, one of the highest casualty rates in the world.—AFP
