Bangladesh summoned India's envoy Tuesday over security concerns at Bangladeshi missions in New Delhi and Siliguri, where massive protests erupted following Hindu worker Dipu Chandra Das's mob lynching. Bangladesh condemned "premeditated violence" against diplomatic establishments as VHP protesters breached barricades in Delhi, prompting police lathi-charge. Ties deteriorated after India summoned Bangladesh's envoy last week over National Citizen Party leader Hasnat Abdullah's inflammatory speech threatening to shelter Indian separatists and sever seven northeastern states. Bangladesh suspended visa operations in Delhi, Siliguri, and Tripura citing security concerns. India dismissed "misleading propaganda" about protests, stating demonstrations were brief and posed no security threat. Tensions escalated following Sheikh Hasina's exile in Delhi.
