Protests turned violent outside the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in New Delhi today, leading to a police lathi charge to disperse crowds. The unrest follows the killing of student leader Sharif Osman Hadi and reports of targeted violence against minorities in Bangladesh. In response to the growing instability, Dhaka has officially suspended visa services in New Delhi, citing “unavoidable circumstances.” Meanwhile, Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar is scheduled to visit Sri Lanka today as a special envoy to discuss regional security implications.
