After the murder of radical youth leader Sharif Usman Hadi in Bangladesh in December, there is continuous unrest and tense situation in the country. Bangladesh’s minority Hindu community has been continuously targeted in the last few weeks after the assassination of Osman Hadi. In recent weeks, a mob of fundamentalists in Bangladesh brutally tortured five people of the Hindu community in five separate incidents and finally murdered them in a gruesome manner.
According to the spokesperson of Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council, 7 people of Hindu community have been murdered since December. However, the council did not provide detailed information about the two victims.
Which people were murdered?
Dipu Chandra Das: First of all, on December 18, 2025, 25-year-old Dipu Chandra Das, a minority Hindu man, was murdered in a gruesome manner in Baluka in Mymensingh district in Bangladesh. Dipu Chandra Das, who worked in a textile factory, was beaten to death by a fundamentalist mob on alleged blasphemy charges. Later his body was hanged from a tree and set on fire. However, at least 12 people have been arrested for their alleged involvement in Das’s murder.
Amrit Mandal: In Bangladesh, on December 24, 2025, Amrit Mandal was beaten to death on charges of extortion in Pangsha sub-district of Rajbari town. This was the second incident of murder of a Hindu person in Bangladesh.
However, it was reported that Mandal had allegedly formed a criminal gang and was involved in extortion and other criminal activities. Locals attacked him when he, along with his gang members, tried to extort money from a resident. According to the police, there were at least two cases registered against Mandal, including murder.
