Ahead of the Pakistan series, Bangladesh experienced extreme violence as the protestors turned violent and ousted then-PM Sheikh Hasina. There were reports that the protesters burnt Litton Das' home, but those turned out to be false, and it was actually Mashrafe Mortaza's house that was put on fire.
