Protests erupted at Shahbagh following the burial of the slain activist. A large crowd, primarily students, gathered there demanding justice for his killing. The demonstration grew steadily as more people arrived from across the city.
The unrest began after the funeral rites concluded. The activist was buried near the National Poet's grave on the university campus earlier that afternoon. His final prayer service at the parliament building drew thousands of diverse mourners, led by his elder brother in an emotional ceremony.
After the burial procession ended, participants moved toward the major intersection to continue their demonstrations. They chanted slogans calling for the punishment of those responsible.
