Bangladesh was shaken by another horrific incident of mob violence as 30-year-old Hindu man Dipu Chandra Das was brutally lynched in Bhaluka Upazila of Mymensingh after he allegedly said that all religions are the same. The statement triggered accusations of insulting Islam, following which an enraged mob assaulted him and later set his body on fire, according to Bangladeshi media reports. The lynching occurred amid violent anti-India protests sweeping parts of Bangladesh after the death of Sharif Osman Hadi, a prominent leader of the July Uprising. Reports indicate that the allegation against Das originated at his workplace—the Pioneer Knit Composite Factory—where his remark on religious equality quickly spread, fuelling tension and mob mobilisation. Even after his death, the violence reportedly escalated as the mob tied his body to a tree, beat it while raising slogans, and set it ablaze—first near the factory area and later again on the Dhaka–Mymensingh highway, causing panic and traffic disruption. While the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government has condemned the killing and vowed strict action, the incident has reignited serious concerns over mob justice, religious intolerance, and the safety of minorities in Bangladesh.
