Desk Correspondent , Dhaka - The fragile peace in Bangladesh’s Mymensingh district has been shattered once again following reports of another Hindu man being killed just days after the horrific lynching of Dipu Chandra Das. This latest incident has intensified fears within the minority community as the region struggles to contain a wave of communal violence triggered by recent political upheavals. Local authorities have stepped up patrols in sensitive areas, yet the recurring nature of these attacks has led to widespread panic and a sense of vulnerability among residents who feel they are being unfairly targeted during this period of transition.

This second killing comes in the wake of the brutal murder of 27-year-old garment worker Dipu Chandra Das, who was lynched and set on fire by a mob over unverified allegations of blasphemy. While the interim government has made several arrests in the Dipu Das case and promised a thorough investigation, the fresh violence suggests that extremist elements continue to operate with a degree of impunity. Human rights organizations have noted that the delay in establishing a firm rule of law following the August uprising has created a vacuum that is being exploited to settle old scores and fuel religious intolerance.

International pressure is mounting on the Dhaka administration, with the Indian government and global lawmakers expressing "strong concerns" over the safety of Hindus in Bangladesh. Protests have erupted in several cities, including New Delhi, where demonstrators have demanded immediate and transparent justice for the victims of these targeted killings. As the interim government attempts to restore order, the recurring violence in Mymensingh serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for robust protection for all citizens, regardless of their faith, to prevent further bloodshed in the crisis-hit nation.
