DHAKA: As the law and order situation continues to deteriorate in Bangladesh under the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government, another Awami League worker was brutally killed in a mob attack on Wednesday, allegedly by the workers of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and radical Islamist party Jamaat-e-Islami.
According to Awami League's media cell, the victim, Riyad Hossain, was stabbed to death by BNP–Jamaat "mob terrorists" due to his support for the party's associate body, Swechchhasebak League.
The party alleged that "extremist BNP–Jamaat militants" arrived on motorcycles and, without any provocation or altercation, launched a coordinated mob attack on Riyad.
