Bangladesh's Home Advisor Jahangir Alam Chowdhury announced Saturday that authorities may exhume bodies from recent Gopalganj district violence for autopsy procedures. He claimed families removed deceased relatives from hospitals without conducting required post-mortem examinations. The statement came after widespread criticism of the interim government's handling of burial protocols.
At least five people died and more than 50 sustained injuries during Wednesday's law enforcement crackdown on protesters in Gopalgraj. Local sources suggest actual death counts may exceed official figures. Police arrested 164 individuals and filed charges against 2,800 people across multiple cases.
The Awami League party condemned what it termed a brutal assault on unarmed civilians. Party officials accused the Yunus administration of authorizing state forces to target citizens opposing the regime. The UN Human Rights Office signed a three-year agreement with Bangladesh to establish a monitoring mission addressing ongoing human rights violations that have persisted since the interim government assumed control last August.
