Violent protests spread in Bangladesh after Modi visit

More than a dozen people injured after clashing with police after a two-day visit by India’s PM Narendra Modi.

At least a dozen people have been reported injured in clashes between police and demonstrators in Bangladesh, as violence spread across the country on the third day of protests against the visit of India’s Hindu-nationalist leader. Protesters also on Sunday reportedly attacked Hindu temples and a train in eastern Bangladesh. Five people had died on Friday, and another six on Saturday, after police shot at demonstrators in several major districts across the Muslim-majority nation of 168 million people.
