Meanwhile , the Human rights groups on their part have called for an end to growing authoritarianism, including forced disappearances and extrajudicial killings.
The social media platform Facebook has also been restricted in Bangladesh, a company spokesman said, after users complained they could not access the site since late Friday afternoon as images and reports of the violence were shared on social media.
On his part the Post and telecommunications minister Mustafa Jabbar said his ministry was not responsible for the stoppage.
