The latest unrest comes after at least 200 people were killed and thousands injured when student protests last month turned violent.
Fresh violence in Bangladesh has left dozens dead and hundreds injured as internet services are shut down and a nationwide curfew is imposed. Almost 100 people were reportedly killed on Sunday as student protesters calling for the prime minister's resignation clashed with police and ruling party activists. The country's leading Bengali-language daily newspaper, Prothom Alo, said at least 95 people had died in the clashes.
Sunday's violence saw protesters target a major public hospital in the capital Dhaka, torching several vehicles. In another area of the city, police fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesters who blocked a major road. According to witnesses, some crude bombs were detonated and gunshots were heard. Student protesters have launched a non-cooperation programme to push for the government's resignation.
