There are reports of many fires being deliberately started in Bangladesh, the day before the people vote in the elections.
A Buddhist temple was burnt and trucks were attacked on a big road, after a train was set on fire on Friday.
The fire department says there were at least fourteen cases of deliberate fires in just a few hours, according to local news.
Many opposing parties are not taking part in the election. PM Sheikh Hasina is expected to win for the fourth time in a row.
The police have arrested a well-known opposition leader, Nabiullah Nabi, and six other members of his party for their suspected involvement in the fire on a train in Dhaka. The fire killed at least four passengers.
Samanta Lal Sen, a leader at the Dhaka hospital helping the people hurt in the fire, says eight people are very badly hurt.
The news in the area says that the Buddhist temple in Ramu, Cox’s Bazar, was attacked early on Saturday.
The BNP party has told people not to vote and they have asked everyone to not work for two days.
The Awami League said the BNP is trying to cause trouble in the election by scaring and hurting innocent people.
