"My house was vandalized by the so called revolutionaries. My family and I are getting death threats and we're being forced to leave Bangladesh and flee to India. Am I not a citizen of Bangladesh? Am I not free to live here? Why should my family and I look for shelter in India? Is it because we are Hindus?" the woman said in an emotional outburst.

The violence reached a grim milestone on Sunday, with clashes resulting in hundreds of deaths, including that of Haradhan Roy, a Hindu councillor and member of the Parshuram Thana Awami League. The violence has led to the imposition of an indefinite curfew and the cutting off of internet connectivity as clashes between protesters demanding Hasina’s resignation and government supporters intensify.
