Protesters Set Train On Fire During Bangladesh Opposition Strike | VOA News #shorts

Footage shared on social media Tuesday showed plumes of smoke rising out of a train in Bangladesh after protesters set it ablaze.

MORE: Four people, among them a mother and child, were killed, after three compartments of the train were set on fire, authorities said.

It was not immediately clear how many were aboard the train, headed for the capital of Dhaka from the northern district of Netrokona, when passengers saw the flames, police said.

The incident was the latest to happen during a countrywide strike called by the opposition to press its demand for the government to resign ahead of next month's general elections.
