Bombs were hurled at a Hindu Puja gathering in Cumilla on March 7, leaving several people injured and seriously wounding chief priest Keshab Chakraborty. CCTV footage reportedly captured the moment explosives were thrown at devotees, triggering panic at the religious event. Chakraborty suffered severe injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment. The attack comes amid growing concern over violence against Hindu minorities in Bangladesh following the political upheaval after Sheikh Hasina was ousted in 2024. Minority groups say thousands of incidents targeting Hindus including killings, temple vandalism, and property seizures have been reported over the past year. (PC: News18)
