Hindu Teacher's Home Torched in Sylhet Amid Rising Minority Attacks in Bangladesh

  • A Hindu schoolteacher's home in Gowainghat upazila, Sylhet, Bangladesh, was set ablaze, causing extensive damage and traumatizing the family.
  • This incident is part of a disturbing pattern of violence against religious minorities, including arson and lynching, across Bangladesh.
  • Previous attacks include a Hindu family's house torched in Pirojpur and the lynching of Dipu Chandra Das in Mymensingh over blasphemy allegations.
  • Homes of two expatriate Hindu families were also torched in Raozan, Chittagong, with families narrowly escaping.
  • The Bangladeshi interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, denies targeted persecution, calling reports "false propaganda," while critics accuse authorities of neglect.
