- Investigators released suspect photos and announced a five‑million‑taka reward, with authorities reporting detentions in the case, including two men placed on remand over allegedly helping a prime suspect flee to India.
- Unrest spread across cities as mobs set fire to the offices of Prothom Alo and The Daily Star, vandalised cultural institutions, and targeted properties linked to the former ruling Awami League.
- Protesters tried to march on Indian diplomatic sites, prompting dispersal by police and temporary suspensions at some visa centres, as anti‑India slogans and accusations over suspects crossing the border intensified tensions.
- Police reported a Hindu man was killed in a mob attack in Mymensingh, with seven arrests announced in that case, while rights groups urged independent probes into Hadi’s killing and the subsequent violence.
