Thousands of protesters set fire to the home of Bangladesh's founding leader as his daughter, ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, called on her supporters to stand against the interim government.

Bangladesh's interim government is completing six months into power this month after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was ousted in August last year in a student-led mass uprising.

A mob in Bangladesh has demolished the Dhaka family home of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina and properties owned by some of her relatives. Leaders of Hasina's Awami League party were also targeted by the mob.
