Dhaka: Bangladesh's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Tuesday expressed disappointment with a US State Department statement, saying that it made "unsubstantiated claims of at least two deaths from the ongoing student protests in Bangladesh."

During a press briefing at the State Department in Washington on Monday, spokesperson Mathew Miller said the US was monitoring reports of widespread student protests that "have killed two and attacked and injured hundreds" in Dhaka and across Bangladesh.
