India on Tuesday called in Bangladesh envoy Riaz Hamidullah and sought a thorough probe into killing of Bangladeshi student leader Sharif Osman Hadi amid sharp downturn in ties between the two countries. ADVERTISEMENTThere have been protests outside the Bangladesh high commission against the recent lynching of a Hindu worker in the strife-torn neighbouring country. There have been protests outside Indian missions in Bangladesh following Hadi's death. Last week, a group of angry protesters tried to storm India's assistant high commission in Chittagong. India's action followed after certain extremist elements announced plans to hold protests around the Indian high commission in Dhaka.
