Police in Bangladesh have fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse supporters of the deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who are demanding her return to the country.
A police vehicle was set on fire in Gopalganj district, where the banned student wing of Hasina's Awami League party clashed with security forces.
Nationwide protests by pro-Hasina activists started a day after the former leader said she had requested a passport to return to Bangladesh from exile in India.
The demonstrations by the student wing, called Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), are seen as the first organised show of force by Hasina's supporters since she was ousted in August 2024 following a huge uprising against her rule.
Traffic was disrupted in some parts of the country as protesters tried to set up roadblocks using burning tyres.
Several passenger vehicles were also set on fire in various parts of Bangladesh in the run up to the protest.
A 60-year-old driver of a passenger bus was killed by smoke inhalation after people set fire to the vehicle in the city of Faridpur early on Tuesday.
Elsewhere, about 200 protesters briefly blocked traffic on the 6.2km (4 mile)-long Padma bridge across the Ganges, that connects the capital Dhaka with the south-western region.
