Dhaka police have arrested at least 40 people who are thought to be involved in the violence, and have recovered the constable&#8217;s body. The groups&#8217; strike call failed to prevent thousands of people from attending a rally in support of last month&#8217;s High Court ruling banning fatwas, which had been organized by several nongovernmental organizations. It has been a day of high emotion on the streets of Dhaka, not least because of fears that the pro- and anti-fatwa camps might come into direct conflict.
