What started as a peaceful protest by students against the quota system for government jobs has turned into a violent situation in Bangladesh. It turned into an uprising against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her ruling Awami League party, leading to her resignation and fleeing the country. Visuals from the country’s political unrest are also reaching India through social media, and among them, a video has gone viral. It shows a lookalike of cricket legend Virat Kohli.
