Hindu man allegedly abducted, beaten to death in Bangladesh

A Hindu man was allegedly abducted and beaten to death in Bangladesh's Dinajpur region, media reports said, an episode once again highlighting the growing atrocities faced by minorities in the South Asian country since the fall of the former PM Sheikh Hasina-led government on August 5, 2024.

The deceased person was identified as Bhabesh Chandra Roy (58).

Roy was a resident of Basudebpur village under Shatagram Union.

According to reports, he was a prominent Hindu leader of the Biral region.

Police recovered his body on Thursday night.

His wife, Shantana Roy, told The Daily Star that Bhabesh was at home in the afternoon when he received a phone call around 4:30pm.

She claimed the call was made by the perpetrators to confirm his presence at home.

She said four men arrived at the scene 30 minutes later on two motorcycles and abducted the Hindu community leader.

Witnesses told The Daily Star that they saw the men take him to Narabari village, where he was brutally assaulted.

Abdus Sabur, officer-in-charge of Biral Police Station, told the newspaper preparations were underway to file a case.

He said the police are trying to catch those behind the attack.

Bangladesh has witnessed a spike in attacks on minorities, especially Hindus, ever since Hasina exited following severe protests against her government.

The interim government has failed to reduce the attacks on the minorities.
