Bangladesh quota row: 32 dead, state TV headquarters set ablaze

Protestors in Bangladesh set the state TV headquarters on fire amid demonstrations against the Sheikh Hasina government’s decision on job quotas. The incident occurred on Thursday, causing fears that many may be trapped inside the building. An official from the station reported that hundreds of protesters stormed the premises and set ablaze at least 60 vehicles and an office building. “They first torched a police post at Rampura after police opened fire at them,” he said, referring to a neighborhood in the capital, Dhaka.
