A day after the brutal rape of a Hindu woman by a local Bangladeshi politician came to light, students from Dhaka University organised massive protests and thronged the streets of the capital.
A video of one of the protests showed students clapping and shouting slogans, demanding “direct action” against the perpetrators.
So far, the police have arrested five individuals, including the main accused, Fazor Ali-a member of the Khaleda Zia-led Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP)-in connection with the rape of a 21-year-old woman in Cumilla.
