Four people were killed instantly in the attack and three others died at a hospital in the Balukhali camp.

Police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at thousands of protesters in Bangladesh's two main cities.

Police say the arrests were part of a special drive launched after the murder of prominent community leader Mohib Ullah, although those detained were not involved in his death.

Some 19,000 of the Muslim refugees from Myanmar have already relocated from crowded camps on the mainland to Bhashan Char island.

The Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army says Mohib Ullah was 'reportedly assassinated by unidentified transnational border-based criminals'.

Record numbers of animals have been slaughtered for the festival.

Half of Dhaka's 20 million inhabitants could head back to their villages, taking Covid-19 with them, say experts.
