Rumors of a coup in Bangladesh intensified after Army Chief General Wakar Uz Zaman’s meetings with top aides and warnings about rising extremism. Security forces have been deployed across Dhaka as protests against interim leader Md Yunus continue. General Zaman has repeatedly hinted at law-and-order failures, fueling speculation about military intervention. Opposition leader Asaduzzaman Fuad accused him of conspiring with President Mohammed Shahabuddin to form a new government. The government dismissed talk of an emergency as "gossip," while viral videos of the army chief’s warnings have heightened tensions. Official statements are awaited. (PC: Reuters)
