Teen gangs in Bangladesh

Teen gang culture in Bangladesh, locally called Kishor Gangs (Bengali: কিশোর গ্যাং), encompasses the presence and activities of organized youth gangs primarily composed of teenagers involved in various criminal undertakings within urban areas of the country. The rise of these gangs presents significant challenges to law enforcement agencies and communities in Bangladesh. As of January 2024, there are around 50 active teen gangs in just the capital city of Bangladesh, Dhaka. Numerous more are based in other parts of the country. These gangs are often backed by a section of ruling party leaders, who act as influential "elder brothers."
