Tensions are running high across Bangladesh as protesters vandalised and set fire to the Awami League headquarters in Dhaka. Hindus staged a massive protest in Dhaka against widespread persecution amid the unrest.
Security has been beefed up at many government buildings, and the army is guarding the police headquarters in Dhaka.
There is little police presence in the capital as they have been replaced by the Bangladeshi Army to maintain law and order. After Sheikh Hasina fled the country, many police officers disappeared fearing for their lives.
