India Summons Bangladesh High Commissioner Over Violence Against Hindus, Protests Continue

Protests erupted across multiple cities in India on Tuesday following the lynching of a Hindu man, Dipu Chandra Das, in Mymensingh, Bangladesh. Demonstrators condemned violence against Hindus and called for justice, while Bangladesh simultaneously witnessed unrest after the killing of political activist Sharif Osman Hadi. The unrest near Bangladeshi diplomatic missions in India led to heightened security, detentions, and the temporary suspension of consular services. Diplomatic tensions escalated further as India summoned the Bangladesh High Commissioner following a prior summon of the Indian envoy by Dhaka. The incidents have highlighted growing concerns over the safety of minorities in Bangladesh and the protection of diplomatic missions amid rising unrest.
