Second Hindu Man Killed in Bangladesh Within 24 Hours and Panic Grips Minority Community

Desk Correspondent , Dhaka - In a deeply disturbing escalation of violence, a second Hindu man, identified as Sarat Chakraborty Mani, has been killed in Bangladesh within a 24-hour window. His body was discovered in the Shariatpur district, the same region where the brutal murder of Khokon Chandra Das occurred just a day prior. Local reports indicate that Mani was targeted in his own neighborhood, and while the exact circumstances of his death are still being investigated, the timing has sent shockwaves through the local minority community. This back-to-back violence has sparked widespread fear and prompted calls for urgent government intervention.

The victim's family and local residents have expressed outrage, noting that the community was already reeling from the horrific news of Khokon Chandra Das being robbed and set on fire. The discovery of Mani's body has led to protests in parts of Dhaka and Shariatpur, with activists demanding to know why security has not been tightened for vulnerable populations. Law enforcement officials have stated that they are looking into potential links between the two killings, though they have not yet confirmed if the motives were purely criminal or part of a larger pattern of targeted attacks.

International human rights groups and minority organizations in Bangladesh have condemned the killings, warning that the failure to protect citizens could lead to further instability. The interim government is under intense pressure to restore law and order, as these incidents coincide with heightened political and social tensions in the country. As police conduct raids to identify the perpetrators behind Mani’s death, the minority community remains on edge, with many families reportedly staying indoors or seeking refuge in community centers for safety.
