Seven Held In Hindu Man’s Lynching in Bangladesh As Yunus Faces Scrutiny Over Minority Safety

Seven arrests, one lynching, and many unanswered questions. Bangladesh’s interim government under Muhammad Yunus says it has acted against those involved in the brutal killing of Hindu youth Dipu Chandra Das in Mymensingh. The arrests come amid violent unrest sparked by the death of student leader Sharif Osman Hadi and follow international criticism over attacks on minorities and journalists. India has openly flagged the failure to protect Hindus, with former envoys warning that extremist forces are exploiting chaos. As Bangladesh vows accountability, the crackdown is being seen as a test of credibility, governance and commitment to minority rights at a time of deep political instability.
