These deaths follow former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation and departure from the country on Monday, according to the Dhaka Tribune. Violence in Satkhira claimed at least 10 lives, while 11 others were killed in mob attacks in Comilla.
The decision to dissolve the parliament was taken following the president's discussions with chiefs of three staff of armed forces, leaders of different political parties, representatives of civil society and leaders of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement.
