Unrest in Bangladesh has led to a diplomatic exchange with India and protests in Kolkata. Bangladesh suspended visa services at its missions in New Delhi, Tripura, and Siliguri after demonstrations near diplomatic premises. India summoned Bangladesh’s envoy and raised concerns over attacks on minorities and diplomatic sites. In Kolkata, protesters gathered outside the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission over the killing of Hindu worker Dipu Chandra Das in Mymensingh. Police in Bangladesh said the lynching followed unverified blasphemy claims and involved factory colleagues. At least 12 people have been arrested. Separately, protests intensified in Bangladesh after the killing of youth leader Osman Hadi, with media offices attacked and minority groups staging demonstrations.
