Around 6,700 Indian students have returned from Bangladesh due to violent clashes in the country.

Bangladesh has been engulfed in deadly clashes as students protest against the Sheikh Hasina-led government's controversial job quota system.

Over 100 people have been killed since the clashes began weeks ago.

"So far, 6,700 Indian students have returned from Bangladesh," said External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.

The Indian government remains hopeful that the situation will return to normal, given Bangladesh's status as a close neighbor and friend.
