Ahead of Bangladesh's announced election, Dhaka was rocked by a wave of bombings and arson on November 10 and 11. The Grameen Bank headquarters linked to the interim administration's chief, Muhammad Yunus, and the student-led National Citizen Party office, were attacked. The incidents have triggered a high alert across Bangladesh.​

Months ahead of the announced election in Bangladesh, which is already hanging thick in the air, Dhaka was jolted by a string of bombings and arson attacks, including one targeting the headquarters of the Grameen Bank, which is linked to the interim administration's chief, Muhammad Yunus, according to reports.

The spate of attacks and arson has triggered a high alert across Bangladesh, extending well beyond the capital.

In a separate incident of arson in northern Bangladesh's Mymensingh, a man sleeping inside a bus was burned to death after the vehicle was torched, reported the Dhaka-based Business Standard.

The reports of bomb attacks and arson in Dhaka came hours after a blast outside Delhi's Red Fort and before a suicide attack at Islamabad's District Court Complex in Pakistan.

HOW ARSON AND BOMBINGS ROCKED DHAKA​

According to police and fire service officials, the first incident occurred around 12.54 AM on Monday, when a bus of the state-owned Rajdhani Paribahan was set ablaze in Dhaka. Then, at around 2.03 AM, a private car was set on fire near Dhaka's Natun Bazar area, reported Dhaka-based Daily Star.

After the initial incidents of vehicle arson in Dhaka, an explosion occurred around 3.45 AM on Monday in front of the Grameen Bank headquarters in Mirpur. Witnesses reported that two people on a motorcycle hurled a crude bomb at the building before fleeing, according to The Daily Star.

Bangladesh is in a state of complete anarchy now. This is what happens when you topple democratically elected Govt and walk towards the path of fascism. Say whatever, Bangladesh was the fastest growing economy from Sub continent under Seikh Haseena. They were growing even faster rate than India. However, as there is a saying, dogs cant digest milk.

RIP to all victims though.

It is possible Awami League folks are doing this.

Need to purge BNP and Awami League. These are 20th century corrupt boomer parties/dynasties. Outdated.

BD need new parties like NCP.

Yes, they are our neighbor in this sense. I just hope the current events bring something good for Pakistan. Because India didn't do any significant damage on ground rather than giving extra life to some imbeciles in our land

There must be incidents there as well but maybe the media coverage isn't great so some incidents might not be reported or the Taliban government doesn't want these incidents to be reported.
