The Awami League government was ousted after Sheikh Hasina resigned and left the country on August 5. On that afternoon, several videos of corpses being piled on a pick up and later burnt, caused an uproar across the country.

According to sources, AFM Sayed was directly involved as the director of the horrific incident.
