DHAKA: Another case of mob violence has been reported in Bangladesh, where a 29-year-old Hindu man was beaten to death by a crowd in Rajbari district late on the night of December 24, according to police officials. The victim has been identified as Amrit Mandal, also known locally as Samrat.
The incident occurred around 11 pm at Hosaindanga Old Market in Pangsha Upazila. Police said Amrit Mandal was assaulted by a group of local residents and was declared dead shortly after the attack. Confirming the incident, Pangsha Model Police Station Officer-in-Charge Sheikh Moinul Islam said the victim was allegedly accused of extortion, following which the situation escalated rapidly into mob violence.
After how many Hindu lives are lost will this atrocity become “acceptable”?
Another Hindu has been killed.

According to police records, Amrit Mandal was listed as a local group leader, often referred to as the head of “Samrat Bahini.” He was the son of Akshay Mandal, a resident of Hosaindanga village in Rajbari district. Authorities have not confirmed the allegations against him and said the matter is under investigation.
Following the killing, the area witnessed heightened tension, prompting the deployment of additional police personnel to prevent any further unrest. Law enforcement agencies have launched a probe to identify those involved in the assault and to reconstruct the sequence of events leading to the lynching. No arrests have been officially announced so far.
The killing marks the second lynching incident in Bangladesh within a week. On December 18, factory worker Dipu Chandra Das was beaten to death in Bhaluka, Mymensingh, after being accused of making derogatory remarks about Islam during a factory event. After his death, the Islamist mob allegedly tied his body to a tree and set it on fire, sparking outrage and condemnation.
The back-to-back incidents have intensified concerns over mob justice and the safety of minorities, including Hindus in Bangladesh, with calls growing louder for swift accountability and stronger measures to curb vigilante violence.
