Protests erupt in India over brutal killing of Hindu worker in Bangladesh.
India witnessed widespread protests following the brutal killing of Dipu Chandra Das, a 25-year-old Hindu garment factory worker in Mymensingh, Bangladesh, who was lynched by a mob over blasphemy allegations. Demonstrations erupted in major cities including Delhi, Kolkata, and Bhopal, where Hindu groups such as the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal demanded justice for Das and accountability from the Bangladeshi government, led by interim Prime Minister Muhammad Yunus. Protesters accused the Yunus regime of complicity in the violence against Hindu minorities and expressed outrage over perceived state-sponsored oppression. In Kolkata, clashes with police occurred as protesters attempted to breach barricades near the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission, resulting in several injuries and the arrest of twelve individuals. These events underscore rising tensions regarding the treatment of minorities in Bangladesh and reflect a broader sentiment among Indian Hindus concerning security and justice for their community, potentially straining diplomatic ties between India and Bangladesh.
