Nearly 100 Killed In Bangladesh Amid Violence, Protesters Defy Curfew On August 5, Dhaka saw heavy military presence following protests that killed at least 91 people and injured hundreds. The unrest began last month over a controversial quota system in government jobs and escalated into calls for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation. Sunday’s death toll, including 13 policemen, was the highest for a single day in recent Bangladeshi history. Army tanks and police vehicles were deployed, with minimal civilian traffic, as students planned a defiant march despite a nationwide curfew.
