Bangladesh’s interim government headed by Nobel Peace laureate Muhammad Yunus said it will contain violence taking place across the country amid concerns over attacks on a historic house linked to ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina.

Mobs targeting supporters of Ms Hasina have vandalised homes and businesses in parts of the country since Wednesday night.
