On January 4, 2026, the body of a 12-year-old girl, Srabanti Ghosh, was found hanging in her house in Lalkhan Bazar area of ​​Chittagong. Now Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has detained two suspects in this case. Police are waiting for the postmortem report to determine whether the death was murder or suicide.

Investigation by detaining two suspicious neighbors

On January 7, 2026, RAB-7 Commander Lieutenant Colonel Mohammad Tauheed said that on the complaint of the victim’s mother, two neighbors Pradeep and Ajay have been detained. Both were present in the building at the time of the incident. One suspect lives in the next room of the victim’s house and the other suspect lives on the second floor. RAB is investigating his role.

Srabanti lived with her younger brother and mother.

Shrabanti lived with her younger brother and mother in a rented one-room house in Panir Tanki Pahad area. Srabanti Ghosh was a fourth class student and studied at Lalkhan Bazar Government Primary School. Srabanti’s father Tapan Ghosh is a security guard at the Korean Export Processing Zone (KEPZ) and comes home once or twice a month. Mother Rosi Ghosh works in a garment factory.

Shrabanti found hanging from the bamboo of the roof

Mother Rosie Ghosh said that children usually stay at their grandparents’ house from morning till night because the parents are at work. That night, Shrabanti returned home alone from her grandfather’s house at around 10 o’clock while her mother was at work. After half an hour the grandfather brought his younger son and found the door open. When I went inside, I saw that Shrabanti was hanging from the bamboo of the ceiling.

The mother said, ‘Srabanti’s feet were resting on the bed. If there was suicide this would not have happened. She was only a 12-year-old girl, she did not even know the meaning of suicide.

Mark found on Shrabanti’s neck

On Sunday morning, OC Jahedul Islam of Khulshi police station said that the body was sent to Chittagong Medical College Hospital for postmortem. During investigation, a black mark was found around the neck but there were no other injury marks on the body. The postmortem report is awaited to know the cause of death.

Picture spread on social media

The picture of this incident has gone viral on social media for the last two days, due to which the matter came into limelight. Some reports have claimed murder and rape, but the official postmortem report has not come yet. Police investigation is ongoing. This matter is very sensitive and a clear picture will emerge only after the investigation is completed. The family and local people are demanding justice.

Taking a big decision before the T20 World Cup 2026, Bangladesh Cricket has made Liton Das the captain of its team. He got this responsibility after formally being handed over the command of the T20 International team in May 2025. Wicketkeeper-batsman Liton replaced Nazmul Hossain Shanto and will now lead Bangladesh in the tournament. The special thing is that Liton Das comes from the Hindu community and due to reasons related to this, he has earlier been the target of some fanatic fans of his own country.

Who is Linton Das?

Liton Das was born in 1994 in a Bengali Hindu family in Dinajpur district of Bangladesh. He started his international career in Test cricket against India in 2015 and made his ODI debut just eight days later. In the same year, he entered the shorter format by playing T20 International match against South Africa.

Initially Liton Das played as a specialist batsman, but after 2017 he was given the responsibility of regular wicketkeeper. After this Mushfiqur Rahim played only the role of batsman. Liton made a special mark in the team with his technique, timing and ability to score fast runs.

Why were you trolled in your own country?

Liton Das is a Hindu. Due to which his name became a cause of controversy during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) in 2025. While playing for Dhaka Capitals, he was targeted by some spectators because of his religious beliefs. In a video viral on social media, it was seen that the audience was teasing him with words like ‘Bhuya’. Which is considered derogatory and means ‘fake’ or ‘trash’. However, Liton did not react and remained calm and continued his game.

Memorable innings and records

Liton Das’s most memorable innings came in the 2018 Asia Cup final, when he scored a brilliant century against India. Although Bangladesh lost the match, he was chosen ‘Man of the Match’ for his innings. In March 2020, he played a historic inning of 176 runs against Zimbabwe, which is still the highest individual score by any Bangladesh batsman in ODIs.

Till now Liton Das has scored 3,117 runs in Test cricket, 2,569 runs in ODI and 2,655 runs in T20 International. He has also captained Bangladesh in all three formats on different occasions, but for the first time in 2025, he was made the full-time captain of the T20 team.

Big responsibility in the World Cup

In the T20 World Cup 2026, there will be huge expectations from Liton Das not only in captaincy but also in batting. Along with Parvez Hossain Emon and Tanjid Hasan, he is considered the backbone of Bangladesh’s top order. Now it remains to be seen how far Liton Das can take his team on this big stage.

This month of December was one of fear and silence for Hindus in the neighboring country Bangladesh. The brutal killing of many Hindus in just 10 days has raised concerns about regional security and human rights. Families locked in their homes, houses destroyed by fire and incidents of murder even among security forces are raising the question whether the safety of minorities is being ensured in the neighboring country and what steps can the Indian government take to stop it. Let us understand.

How many innocents were killed in 10 days?

This series of attacks on minority Hindus in Bangladesh became most intense in December. First, 27-year-old Dipu Chandra Das was beaten to death in Mymensingh district and later burnt. Authorities later said the blasphemy charge was false. A week later, 29-year-old Amrit Mandal was beaten to death by a mob in Pangsha of Rajbari district. The third incident took place in the same Mymensingh district, where 40-year-old Bajendra Biswas was shot by his Muslim colleague Noman Mian.

Dipu Chandra Das – False allegation took his life

Dipu Chandra Das worked in a garment factory in Bhaluka. Rumors were spread against him that he made objectionable remarks. At around 9 pm, a crowd of hundreds of people caught him and beat him brutally. After his death the mob tied him to a tree and burnt him. This incident is being considered the most gruesome example of increasing violence against Hindus in Bangladesh.

Amrit Mandal- Mob lynched

A week after Deepu’s murder, Amrit Mandal was murdered in Pangsha of Rajbari district. At night, some people along with him went to Shahidul’s house, then the local people raised the alarm of dacoit-robber and the mob caught hold of Amrit and started beating him. Amrit died in the hospital after being badly injured by kicks, punches and sticks.

Bajendra Biswas – No one is safe even in security forces

Bajendra Biswas, 40, who was a member of the Ansar force, was shot dead by his Muslim companion Noman Mian in Bhaluka, Mymensingh district. Biswas, posted at Sultana Sweaters Factory, became the target while on duty. His own companion shot him in the thigh and Biswas died. This incident shows that now the security personnel engaged in protecting the minorities are also in danger.

Attacks on Hindu families and burning of houses

Apart from the killings, houses of 5-6 Hindu families were set on fire in Pirojpur district. At night, when the families were sleeping, the miscreants also locked the doors from outside. The families managed to escape with their lives. Such incidents show that minority communities in Bangladesh are under constant threat.

Indian Government’s intervention and possible steps

Experts believe that the Indian government should exert diplomatic pressure to ensure the safety of minorities in Bangladesh. This could include high-level talks, joint security monitoring, and applying pressure through human rights groups. Additionally, a message can also be sent by taking temporary steps on visa policy, trade and cultural cooperation for Bangladesh in India.

According to the report, villagers said, ‘Amrit Mandal went to a person’s house in the old market area of ​​Hussaindanga and demanded ransom. But when he refused to pay the ransom, other members of Samrat Vahini entered his house on 24 December. When the head of the family was not found there, his people started beating his son. Then the people of the house started making noise by calling him a thief, the villagers gathered together and beat the emperor. People caught one of his companions.,

Police took Amrit Mandal to hospital in critical condition. Recruitment Got it done, but the doctor declared him dead. In Bangladesh, Dipu Chandra Das was beaten to death by a mob and later his body was set on fire. Initially it was said that he was killed on charges of blasphemy, but later the police clarified that they did not find any such evidence. After the murder of Dipu Das, protests were held against the Yunus government in many countries including India.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has held Mohammad Yunus responsible for the violence taking place in Bangladesh. Tharoor said that it is the responsibility of the Yunus government and the police to stop violence in Bangladesh. If the government and the police together are not able to do anything, then the army should be involved, but the violence should stop at all costs.

Tharoor angry over the murder of Hindu youth

On December 24, 2025, Shashi Tharoor gave a statement to news agency ANI and said, ‘This is a very serious problem. We want Bangladesh to remain stable and peaceful and the minorities there to feel safe. The lynching of a person in police custody was indeed very wrong and unfair. There was no evidence of that person committing any derogatory act. The police handed him over to the mob, which was very horrifying.

He said that the violence on the streets in Bangladesh, protests and demonstrations outside Indian embassies have worsened the situation. This has made it difficult to create an environment of peace and stability before the elections to be held in February.

India is not involved in the death of student leader

Shashi Tharoor said, ‘Completely rejected the talk of blaming India for the death of a student leader. Accusing India of being involved in the death of the student leader is absolutely absurd. India has no interest in creating instability in Bangladesh. Such things are creating an atmosphere of hostility against minorities, which is a matter of concern for the entire country.

Everyone has the right to demonstrate peacefully

Tharoor said that in India too, some groups have protested against the incidents on the border. This is their right in a democracy, but it should be peaceful. Such demonstrations have taken place in India, but there was no violence, no lynching. If anyone tries to commit violence, the police will stop him.

Demand for strictness from Bangladesh government

Shashi Tharoor has demanded strict action from the Bangladesh government. He said, ‘Just expressing regret or condemning the Bangladesh government will not work, they will have to stop the violence.’ Tharoor warned that it would be difficult to conduct elections in the current environment. ‘How will elections be held in at least two months, when there is chaos on the streets, an atmosphere of fear and voters themselves do not feel safe?’

Attacks on Hindu minorities have increased since the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government in Bangladesh in August 2024. According to the Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council (BHBCUC) and other reports, there were more than 2,442 attacks on Hindus from August 2024 to June 2025, including vandalism of temples, burning of houses and killings. Many of these murders took place on charges of political vendetta or alleged blasphemy. In some reports they were linked to religious hatred, while in others political reasons were cited.

Houses of Hindu families set on fire, 7 year old girl burnt alive

The latest incident of atrocities on Hindus is from Chittagong, where the houses of two Hindu families were burnt. Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen released a video in which Islamic fundamentalists burnt the houses of many Hindus in Chittagong. The incident occurred on December 23, 2025, resulting in property damage and the death of the family’s pets. According to reports, the victims were identified as Jayanti Sangha and Babu Shukusheel. The family was inside their house at the time of the incident. Eyewitnesses said that the family had to run away by cutting the fence to escape the flames, because all the doors were closed.

Earlier, late on the night of 19th December, some miscreants had locked a house from outside in Lakshmipur Sadar, poured petrol on it and set it on fire. A 7-year-old girl died after being burnt alive in the fire, while three people were seriously burnt. According to the police, the incident took place at around 1 o’clock in the night. A 7 year old girl died on the spot due to the fire.

Murdered on charges of blasphemy

On December 18, Hindu youth Dipu Chandra was beaten to death in Bhaluka near Dhaka. The attackers had accused Deepu of blasphemy. Deepu used to work in a textile factory. It was claimed that Deepu had made comments on Facebook that hurt religious sentiments, but the investigation did not find evidence of any such comment. Whereas this murder was the result of a dispute over work in the factory.

The process of killing Hindus did not stop here, but the atrocities reached their peak only in December.

• In Rangpur, shopkeeper Uttam Kumar Burman was lynched to death on charges of blasphemy. 12 people were arrested.
• Jeweler Prantosh Karmakar shot dead in Narsingdi.
• Fish trader Utpal Sarkar was killed in Faridpur.
• Freedom fighter couple Yogesh Chandra Roy and Subarna Roy were brutally beaten in Rangpur and died from head injuries.
• Apart from this, in August 2024, school teacher Mrinal Kanti Chakraborty was murdered by entering his house in Bagerhat.

At least 5 Hindus were killed in the initial violence of August 2024, but most of the names were not made public. BHBCUC linked the murder of 9 Hindu men in September 2024 to religious hatred, while some investigations suggested political reasons. Overall, after Hasina’s departure, 23 to 27 Hindu murders have come to light.

Fear of worsening situation before elections in Bangladesh

The interim government of Mohammad Yunus condemned the incidents and made several arrests, but the minority community is demanding protection. India has also expressed concern. Experts say that many attacks took place because of Awami League supporters, but religious tension has also increased. The situation is likely to worsen before the February 2026 elections.

Hindu population in Bangladesh is very less, but atrocities are more.

According to the Population and Housing Census 2022 report, the Hindu population in Bangladesh is about 1.31 crore, which is 7.95% of the total population. These figures were released by Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS). At that time the total population of the country was 16.52 crores. No new census was conducted after 2022.

According to Worldometer estimates, the total population of Bangladesh will reach about 176 million by December 2025. If the percentage remains the same then the Hindu population could be around 1.4 crores, but many reports say that the Hindu percentage is decreasing due to migration, low birth rate and other reasons.

Hindu youth Dipu Chandra Das was beaten to death by a mob in Bhaluka Upazila of Mymensingh district of Bangladesh and the body was burnt after tying it to a tree. A new twist has emerged in the investigation of this terrible incident.

Initially it was reported to be a case of blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad, but the investigation by the police and Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) did not find any concrete evidence of this allegation. Investigating officers say that the real reason for the murder was the old enmity regarding work dispute inside the factory, production target, overtime and recent promotion examination.

Handed over to the mob due to dispute in the factory

According to the Dhaka Tribune report, 27-year-old Dipuchandra Das was a floor manager in a garment factory named Pioneer Knitwears (BD) Limited. He had recently appeared for the promotion examination for the post of supervisor. Senior manager of the factory, Saqib Mahmood, said that at around 5 pm, some workers started protesting inside the factory, accusing Deepu of hurting religious sentiments. Deepu’s brother Apu Chandra Das told that Deepu was already having disputes with many colleagues. These disputes were about working conditions, targets and benefits for workers.

On 18 December 2025, the dispute escalated and the floor in-charge of the factory forced Dipu to resign. After this he was taken out of the factory and handed over to the mob. Apu got a call from Deepu’s friend Himel that Deepu was being taken to the police station, but after some time it was learned that he had died. When Apu reached the spot, the dead body was found burnt.

Beaten to death, tied to a tree and burnt

According to the police, Deepu was beaten near the highway, about a kilometer away from the factory. After death, the body was tied to a tree, kerosene was poured on it and it was set on fire. Horrific videos of the incident went viral on social media, in which the crowd is beating Deepu and the body is being burnt.

According to Dhaka Tribune and Daily Star,

• Mymensingh Additional Superintendent of Police Abdullah Al Mamun said, ‘The allegations of blasphemy are just lip service. We have not found any truth yet.
• Bhaluka Model Police Station officer Mohammad Zahidul Islam said no evidence of religious insult was found. The investigation focuses on the internal dispute of the factory.
• RAB company commander MD Shamsuzzaman said, ‘Nobody present at the spot heard Deepu saying anything against religion. No post was found on Facebook or online. The incident started at 4 pm, when the floor in-charge forced Dipu to resign and handed him over to the angry mob.
• Local ward member Tofajzel Hussain said, ‘This seems to have happened not out of religious anger but due to planning. There was a conspiracy to expel Deepu from the factory.

12 people were arrested in this case

According to Dhaka Tribune, those arrested include factory floor manager Alamgir Hossain, quality in-charge Miraj Hossain Akon and workers Ashikur Rahman, Qayyum, Limon Sarkar, Tariq Hossain, Manic Mia, Irshad Ali, Nizamuddin, Ajmal Hasan Sagir, Shahid Mian and Nazmul. The investigation is ongoing and more arrests may be made.

Dipu’s life could have been saved if information had been received in time.

Police say that the factory management did not inform the police on time, due to which Deepu’s life could have been saved. Factory workers say that they had called the police, but due to the crowd and traffic jam, the police arrived late. This incident happened at a time when major demonstrations were going on in Bangladesh after the death of student leader Sharif Usman Hadi. Hadi’s death had increased unrest in the country.

India expressed deep concern over this terrible murder

Indian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, ‘We are closely monitoring the situation in Bangladesh. Have expressed concern over attacks on minorities and have demanded punishment of the culprits.

The interim government of Bangladesh has also strongly condemned the murder. The government said, ‘There is no place for such violence in the new Bangladesh. The culprits will not be spared. A promise has been made to punish the culprits once the investigation is completed.

The heart-wrenching pictures and videos that have emerged from Bangladesh have created anger among the people of the country. In fact, after the death of activist Sharif Usman Hani, a Hindu man was brutally killed by a mob on the road. Because, he had commented on Prophet Muhammad.

In such a situation, the local people there first beat him to death, then hanged him from a tree and set him on fire. Pictures and videos related to this incident are going viral, seeing which the anger among the people is increasing. From the general public to celebs have condemned this lynching.

Munawwar Farooqui was the first to condemn this incident on Sunday and termed it as barbarity. At the same time, Bigg Boss 15 fame Rajiv Adatiya also shared a post regarding this incident. Popular TV actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee also condemned it.

Devoleena Bhattacharjee condemned

The actress wrote in her tweet, ‘If this footage is not enough to take action against every Bangladeshi living in Assam and India… then you are on the wrong path. Disgusting people…free Assam from these insects and scoundrels.’ Meanwhile, the actress has now replied to Dhruv Rathi’s tweet.

I so try to avoid & ignore your shitty vidoes & tweets. Dunno why x grt it on my feedback. Anyways. When will Dhurandar stop thinking in Bahrain and speak for the Hindus of Bangladesh?? https://t.co/tMqQkfoc19

— Devoleena Bhattacharjee (@Devoleena_23) December 21, 2025

He has also been criticized a lot for continuously speaking on the issue. Responding to Dhruv Rathi, Devoleena wrote the post, ‘That’s why I try to avoid and ignore your bad videos and tweets. Don’t know why X keeps bringing this up on my feed.

When will he stop thinking about Dhurandhar and speak for the Hindus of Bangladesh.?? It is known that Dhruv Rathi is often saying something or the other about the film Dhurandhar and is seen criticizing it a lot. Devoleena has tweeted keeping this in mind. At the same time, the actress is getting a lot of support from the fans. Fans say that Devoleena often stands for the truth.

The political party there is also under threat among the dwindling Hindu population in Bangladesh. The only Hindu organization in Bangladesh, Bangladesh Sanatan Party (BSP) may now face many challenges in the Bangladeshi election to be held in 2026. BSP founder and general secretary Suman Kumar Roy said that the Election Commission is not independent in Bangladesh, but the Mohammad Yunus works at the behest of the government or army officials here.

Need to create party office

According to the report of News18, Suman Kumar Roy said that the BSP has more than 120 sub-departments and more than 50 committees and for this it needs at least 122 party offices, but it will take a lot of money and the registered parties here still do not have 122 party offices. He said that he is trying to argue to the interim government as to why it is beneficial for both sides to bring the BSP into the political field.

Why did the BSP (Bangladesh Sanatan Party) establish?

Talking about the formation of BSP, Roy said, ‘I am not against Sheikh Hasina. She had very good administrative knowledge, but she considered Hindus as only vote banks. One of her major drawbacks was that she wanted to keep everyone happy, whether it is India or China. Used to see fanatics and Hindus equally, you cannot do this. This is the reason that we had to lay the foundation of this party in 2022.

BSP did not get political recognition

Please tell that the BSP was formed on August 26, 2022 in Bangladesh. Due to Bangladeshi fundamentalists, the then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina could not give this party registered as a political organization. At the same time, according to the Election Commission, it is mandatory to register a political party.

According to the 2022 census, there were more than 1.31 crore Hindus in Bangladesh, 7.96% of the country’s population. According to reports, since the demolition of Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League government on August 5, there have been more than 200 attacks on Bangladesh’s minority Hindus in more than 50 districts. However, Bangladesh government chief Muhammad Yunus had assured the leaders of the Hindu community that we are all one and all will get justice.
