After the death of Iqbal Manch spokesperson Sharif Usman Hadi in Bangladesh, pictures of violence and arson are emerging. Meanwhile, a case of brutal murder has also come to light in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, minority Hindu youth Dipu Chandra Das was beaten to death by a mob. Bangladeshi officials have informed that there is no direct evidence that the Hindu youth who was beaten to death in Mymensingh, Bangladesh, had said anything derogatory that could hurt religious sentiments.

Let us tell you that Dipu Chandra Das was brutally killed in mob lynching by a Muslim co-worker in his factory after accusing him of blasphemy. On the night of 18 December, the mob killed Das and then hanged his body from a tree and set it on fire on the charge of insulting Islam.

What did Company Commander MD Samsuzzaman tell?

MD Samsuzzaman, company commander of RAB-14 in Mymensingh, told Bangladeshi newspaper ‘The Daily Star’ that no evidence was found to show that the deceased had written anything on Facebook that might hurt religious sentiments. He also said that neither the local people nor the garment factory workers could point out any such activity.

Company commander Samsuzzaman told The Daily Star, “Now everyone is saying that they themselves did not hear Deepu say anything like this. No one was found who claimed that they themselves heard or saw anything hurting the religion. When the situation worsened, they were forcefully thrown out of the factory to save the factory.”

Police detained many people

The officer said that after the video went viral, initially two people were detained in connection with the incident and later on the basis of interrogation, five more people were detained. Apart from this, Mymensingh ASP Mohammad Abdullah Al Mamun said that the police have detained three more people and are interrogating them.

Meanwhile, the Coalition of Hindus of North America (CoHNA) expressed deep concern over the silence of the international media and community on the violence against Hindu minorities in Bangladesh following the brutal murder of Das. This organization condemned this cruel incident and warned that Bangladesh is slipping into a state of barbarism, the consequences of which are being borne by Hindus.

A Pakistan court has directed the central government to set up an inquiry commission in 30 days to investigate the alleged misuse of the country’s controversial blasphemy laws.

Questions have been raised about the blasphemy laws in Pakistan because in such cases often the crowd targets people regardless of the legal process. Islamabad High Court (IHC) judge Sardar Ejaz Ishaq Khan ordered the formation of an inquiry commission on Tuesday (July 15, 2025) to investigate the misuse of these laws.

The military ruler Ziaul Haq made these laws more rigid in the 1980s to protect the sanctity of the Prophet and the Quran. The court passed this order during a hearing on a case related to several complaints of blasphemy.

It is alleged that some officers, lawyers and other persons of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) conspired to implicate the innocent people in the blasphemy case and later used it to threaten the money by threatening legal action.

It is alleged that those who refused to pay money were allegedly prosecuted under blasphemy laws. In the last few years, several persons accused of blasphemy were murdered by religious extremists.

This petition was first filed in September last year. The court heard at least 42 times before directing the federal government to constitute the Inquiry Commission. Justice Khan said that the Commission will have to complete the investigation in four months, although if necessary, it can request the court to extend the deadline.

According to data from the think-tank Center for Research and Security Studies (CRSS), between 1947 and 2021, 701 blasphemy cases were registered, including 1,308 men and 107 women, including 1,415 people, were found accused. At least 89 people were killed and 30 were injured in these cases. Among those killed were 72 men and 17 women.

The data shows that after the amendments presented by Jiaul Haq in 1986, there was a rapid increase in cases when the blasphemy was made a death penalty. Prior to these amendments, only 11 cases were registered and three people were killed.
