Tensions gripped the Bangladesh national football team in Kathmandu after protesters set fire to a nearby building and stormed into their hotel in search of political leaders.
Footballer Sumon Reza recounted the ordeal:
“The protesters eventually calmed down when hotel authorities explained that only footballers were staying here, not politicians. They even saw us in the lobby and realized it themselves. That eased our fears.”
Captain Jamal Bhuiyan was also heard in a video saying, “It doesn’t feel safe here. Should we move elsewhere?”
Clarifying the situation, Reza added that the unrest was linked to a nearby residence of a ruling party leader, which was set ablaze. Another hotel, Hilton, was also attacked during the violence.
