There is an uproar in Bangladesh due to the brutal murder of Hindu youth Dipu Chandra Das. On the night of 18 December 2025, in Bhaluka area of Mymensingh district, a fundamentalist mob beat Deepu brutally, accusing him of blasphemy and then set his body on fire. Deepu, who worked in a textile factory, was accused of hurting religious sentiments without any concrete evidence.
According to the report of The Daily Star, according to Mohammad Farhad Hussain Khan, Superintendent of Police of Mymensingh Industrial District, he received information about the incident at around 8 pm. By the time the police team reached the spot, the situation had worsened. Hundreds of people were gathered on the road and the crowd was so fierce that it became almost impossible to reach the spot. Police say that if information had been received in time, perhaps the young man’s life could have been saved.
Highway became witness to violence, traffic came to a standstill for three hours
When the police reached near the factory, they saw that the crowd was taking Deepu’s body towards the Dhaka-Mymensingh Highway. During this time, there was a jam of about 10 kilometers long, which lasted for about three hours. Due to traffic jam, neither the police could move forward properly nor the relief agencies could reach on time.
The role of factory management is also under question
According to the administrative officials of Pioneer Knitwear Bangladesh Factory, some workers started the ruckus at around 5 pm. It was alleged that Deepu had hurt religious sentiments. However, the factory management also admitted that there was no evidence to support these allegations. To calm the situation, a senior official of the factory forced Dipu to resign so that the crowd would calm down, but this step also proved to be inadequate.
Violence broke out as soon as the shift changed
As soon as the evening shift ended, a crowd of second shift workers and local people gathered outside the factory. The situation worsened as the numbers increased. At around quarter to nine in the night, an angry mob broke the factory gate and dragged Deepu out of the security room. After this he was beaten publicly and murdered on the spot. After some time the body was set on fire.
The truth came out in the investigation: the allegations are completely false
Initial investigation by Bangladesh’s Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has made it clear that Dipu had neither made any objectionable post on social media nor anywhere else. According to officials, the charge of blasphemy was completely baseless. Investigative agencies say that when the situation worsened, Dipu was handed over to the mob to save the factory, which is a serious mistake.
Arrests were made, but questions still remain
Police have so far arrested 12 people in this case. The victim’s brother has filed a case against 140 to 150 unknown people. Investigation is going on, but this incident has raised deep questions on the security system of minorities in Bangladesh.
