Bangladesh was rocked by violent protests in several cities after the death of youth leader Sharif Osman Hadi late Thursday, with concerns of further unrest ahead of national elections.

Hadi, a spokesperson for the Inquilab Mancha platform and a candidate in general elections, was shot in the head by masked assailants last Friday while launching his election campaign in Dhaka. He was initially treated at a local hospital before being flown to Singapore for advanced medical care, where he died after spending six days on life support.
