Vehicular movement in Dhaka’s Dhanmondi area returned to normal late Monday night after a day of unrest surrounding the verdict in a war crimes case involving former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and several co-accused. From Monday morning, protesters gathered near Dhanmondi 32, leading to the closure of the New Market–Mirpur road. The crowd swelled throughout the day, and tensions escalated again after dusk. Between 8:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., police and demonstrators clashed multiple times, with law enforcement using sound grenades to disperse the protesters. By around 10 p.m., the situation was brought under control, and traffic flow gradually resumed. The protest initially began near the historic residence of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, where demonstrators had assembled to express anger over the court’s decision, triggering widespread agitation in the area.
