He further explained, “The inn we stayed in, which was supposed to be a guesthouse, was in a very bad condition. It had one room with six beds and only one toilet, which was extremely dirty. I don’t think anyone could bathe in it.”

There was violence on the roads, we were put in a local bus Abhishek Verma did not hesitate to blame the airline for not supporting the national team in tough times. He said, “Your plane broke down. You know riots happen outside, then how did they put us in a local bus? If something had happened to us, who would have been responsible for it?”

“Even if we had known that we would get the ticket by 11 am, we would have stayed at the airport as they (airline) did not confirm anything,” Verma said.

On Monday, a special court sentenced former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to death, sparking violence in Dhaka.
