Despite an alarming surge in Covid-19 deaths, people continued to defy restrictions on movement as a higher number of people and vehicles were seen on the streets in Dhaka on the fifth day of the weeklong strict lockdown , enforced by the government from April 14 to contain the spread of the virus.
Meanwhile at a checkpost, an altercation took place between a doctor and police team on Elephant Road when the law enforcers asked for her identity card.
