A viral video of partially covered bodies on a van with policemen standing by has gone viral in Savar, raising questions about the disrespectful handling of bodies of quota movement victims. The video, captured on the Plot Road in front of Ashulia Police Station in Savar, shows bodies covered with bedsheets and hands stretched out. Police authorities have confirmed the authenticity of the video and identified at least one policeman seen in the footage. The bodies are believed to be those killed in police firing on August 5, the day Hasina resigned and left the country amid an unprecedented student-led movement. Dhaka District Superintendent of Police Ahmad Mueed confirmed the footage and is working to confirm its authenticity. At least 46 people were killed in violence in Savar on August 5, with many still receiving treatment in different hospitals.
