Hundreds of protesters clashed with police in Bangladesh’s capital Dhaka as Muslim groups carried out demonstrations on Friday against the alleged desecration of their holy book, the Quran, at a Hindu festival earlier this week.
The protest started from the Baitul Mukarram mosque and soon descended into chaos as protesters started throwing bricks at law enforcers deployed nearby. Security forces used batons, tear gas, and water cannons to disperse the crowd.
