Two more suspects arrested in Bangladesh Hindu man's lynching case.
In Bangladesh’s Mymensingh district, two more suspects—Ashik (25) and Kaium (25)—were arrested on December 21, 2025, raising the total to 12 in the brutal lynching of 25-year-old Hindu garment worker Dipu Chandra Das on December 18 over unsubstantiated blasphemy claims, with his body beaten, hanged, and burned. The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) nabbed seven earlier, including Md. Limon Sarkar and Md. Miraj Hossain Akon, while police detained three others like Md. Azmol Hasan Sagir; all were handed to Bhaluka Police Station. Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus’s interim government condemned the mob violence amid post-August 2024 upheaval, but from India’s strategic lens, it signals Islamist radicalization—linked to unrest over anti-India leader Sharif Osman Hadi’s death—threatening Hindu minorities (8% population), border stability, and Delhi’s leverage over Dhaka’s fragile regime.
