Another Hindu Killed in Bangladesh: Minorities Face Rising Violence

• Bajendra Biswas, a Hindu garment worker and Ansar Bahini member, was shot dead by a colleague in Bangladesh's Mymensingh, marking the third Hindu killing in two weeks.
• This incident follows the lynching of Dipu Chandra Das (accused of blasphemy) and the killing of Amrit Mondal (accused of extortion) in separate incidents.
• Violence against minorities has surged since the collapse of the Sheikh Hasina government in August, raising concerns about their safety under the interim Yunus regime.
• India has expressed grave concern over the "unremitting hostility" against Hindus, Christians, and Buddhists, citing over 2,900 violent incidents under the current government.
• Hindu communities, especially in rural areas, report increased fear and insecurity, with anti-Hindu religious activists gaining strength since Hasina's ouster.

Why It Matters: Bangladesh sees a surge in violence against Hindus, raising serious concerns about minority safety under the new government.
