What started as a protest against a quota system for government jobs in Bangladesh has turned into widespread looting and rioting across the country, with the minority community, mainly Hindus, coming under attack. With Sheikh Hasina fleeing to India and an interim government still to be formed, videos of temples being set on fire and houses and businesses of Hindus being attacked by Muslims have flooded social media.
A report in Bangladesh's Daily Star said houses and business establishments of Hindus were attacked by mobs and their valuables were also looted in at least 27 districts on Monday.
