A Bangladeshi who forcibly shaved his wife's head after finding a hair in his breakfast has been arrested, police said Tuesday, as rights groups warned violence against women was rising in the conservative Muslim nation.

At least five people were killed in nationwide clashes and trains were attacked as Bangladesh's opposition today began a strike to demand the prime minister quit and make way for polls under a caretaker government.
