Former Bangladesh cricket team captain Mashrafe Mortaza’s home was torched by protesters amid the ongoing chaos in the country, where students are being detained and shot by police and security forces.

Protesters expressed their anger at Mortaza, an MP with the ruling Awami League party, for his silence on the “massacres and mass arrests of students” in Bangladesh. Photos show his house being vandalized and set ablaze by agitators. (Free Press Journal)
