The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) strongly denounced the recent killing of a Hindu man in Bangladesh. The victim, identified as Khokon Chandra Das, a Hindu trader from Damudya, was brutally attacked, beaten, and set on fire by assailants. He succumbed to severe burn injuries while undergoing treatment in Dhaka after the attackers poured petrol on him and set him ablaze.
The incident occurred in the Damudya upazila of Shariatpur district, where Khokon was hacked with sharp weapons near Keurbhanga Bazar in Kaneshwar Union. Despite being rushed to the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery in Dhaka, he tragically passed away on Saturday morning. VHP spokesperson Vinod Bansal expressed strong outrage over the killing, labeling it an act of extreme brutality.
Reacting to the tragic event, Bansal highlighted the barbarity faced by Hindus in Bangladesh due to jihadist violence. He questioned the administration in Bangladesh and the perpetrators, emphasizing the need for human rights for all citizens. Bansal urged the Hindu community to remain vigilant against radical Islam and ensure their safety amidst ongoing violence.
Drawing parallels with neighboring countries, Bansal emphasized the importance of recognizing the challenges faced by Hindus in various regions. He called upon Bangladeshi authorities to take decisive action against the perpetrators and provide security to the Hindu community. Khokon, who was returning home after work, was attacked by miscreants who fatally injured him and set him on fire, leading to his tragic demise.
