A 25-year-old Hindu man, Dipu Chandra Das, was lynched by a mob in Bangladesh's Mymensingh over alleged blasphemy amid ongoing unrest following anti-India radical leader Sharif Osman Hadi's death. Das was beaten outside his factory workplace, hanged from a tree, and set on fire. Indian politicians including Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi and Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan condemned the incident, urging the Bangladesh government to protect minorities. Exiled writer Taslima Nasreen alleged a Muslim coworker falsely accused Das to settle a trivial dispute. Bangladesh's government condemned the lynching, promising perpetrators won't be spared. The incident highlights escalating violence against Hindu, Christian, and Buddhist minorities, with over 2,400 documented incidents between August 2024-July 2025. (PC: X)
