In the two days following the 13th National Parliamentary Election, more than 200 incidents of violence erupted across 30 districts in Bangladesh.

These clashes have resulted in at least three deaths and over 300 injuries, according to a report by the Human Rights Support Society (HRSS).

The findings were presented at a press conference on Sunday afternoon (February 15) at the National Press Club in Dhaka.

Casualties and Severe Incidents
HRSS Executive Director Ejazul Islam detailed the casualties from the post-polls unrest:

Fatalities: Two young men were killed in separate incidents in Munshiganj and Bagerhat. Additionally, a child was killed in Mymensingh.

Gender-Based Violence: A serious allegation of rape was reported in Noakhali linked to election disputes.

Involvement: The report attributed the violence to activists and supporters of the BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami, and various independent candidates.

Property Damage and Scale of Unrest
The wave of violence following the February 12 election has led to significant property damage:

Targets: Approximately 350 business establishments, political offices, and residential homes were subjected to attacks or arson.

Geographic Spread: Violence was recorded in 30 districts, marking a widespread period of instability despite a relatively peaceful polling day.

Context: The Overall Election Toll
While the post-election window saw 3 deaths, the HRSS noted that the broader election period (October 2025 to February 14, 2026) saw a much higher toll:

Total Deaths: 10 people.

Total Injuries: 2,503 people in over 700 recorded incidents.

The organization called for immediate government action to curb the unrest and ensure the safety of citizens as the country transitions following the election.
