Protesters storm Bangladesh jail, free ‘hundreds of inmates’

Kindly share this story

In a dramatic escalation of ongoing student protests, demonstrators in the central Bangladesh district of Narsingdi stormed a local jail on Friday, freeing hundreds of inmates before setting the facility on fire, a police officer reported.

“The inmates fled the jail, and the protesters set the jail on fire,” the police officer said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

“I don’t know the exact number of inmates, but it would be in the hundreds.”

Moushumi Sarker, a senior government official in Narsingdi district, confirmed the jailbreak but did not provide further details.

Ripon, a local resident living near the jail, recounted seeing at least 20 men leaving the facility, carrying their belongings in handbags.

This incident comes amid a week of heightened tensions in Bangladesh, where at least 50 people have been killed following a police crackdown on student protests.

The demonstrations have been calling for reforms to public service hiring rules, leading to widespread unrest and violence.
