A dramatic scene unfolded outside the Bangladesh High Commission in Delhi on Tuesday as protesters clashed with police, breaching barricades and prompting a lathi charge. The protest, led by the Vishva Hindu Parishad and other organisations, was sparked by alleged atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh. The protesters, visibly agitated, pointed to the recent mob lynching of Dipu Chandra Das, a Hindu worker, who was brutally killed over blasphemy rumors. Das's body was tied to a tree and set on fire in the Jamirdia Dubaliapara area of Bangladesh on December 18. A protester, overcome with emotion, broke down outside the Bangladesh High Commission, saying, 'Hindus are being killed there.' The protester's words echoed the concerns of many, as Bangladesh's foreign ministry summoned India's envoy over security concerns for Bangladeshi missions in India. The crisis in Bangladesh escalated after the death of prominent student leader Sharif Osman Hadi, triggering unrest and violence. Gut-wrenching videos of the alleged lynching of Dipu Chandra Das have gone viral on social media, highlighting the gravity of the situation. The Indian government is closely monitoring the situation, and the protest outside the Bangladesh High Commission in Delhi is a reflection of the growing concerns among the Hindu community in India.
