ISH News recently shared a video showing a shocking incident in Bangladesh, where a Hindu man was beaten, stripped, hanged from a tree, and set on fire. Just days after this incident, another Hindu man was beaten to death, raising fresh concerns about violence and law and order in the country.
According to reports, the latest incident took place late on the night of 24 December in Rajbari district, Bangladesh. A Hindu man named Amrit Mandal, also known as Samrat, was beaten to death by a group of villagers. He was accused of extortion and criminal activities.
Local residents told Bangladeshi newspaper The Daily Star that Samrat was the leader of a criminal gang called Samrat Bahini, which was involved in extortion and other illegal acts. Reports say Samrat had left Bangladesh after the removal of Sheikh Hasina last year and had recently returned to his village.
Around 11 pm on 24 December, Samrat and some members of his gang allegedly went to the house of a villager named Shahidul Islam to demand money. When the family shouted for help and claimed they were being robbed, nearby villagers rushed to the spot.
Villagers managed to catch Samrat, while most of the other gang members escaped. Samrat was badly beaten by the mob. Police later arrived and rescued him, but his condition was critical.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Debrata Sarkar said Samrat was taken to a hospital, where he was declared dead around 2.00 am. He also confirmed that Samrat had at least two criminal cases against him, including a murder case.
Police arrested one of Samrat’s associates, Mohammed Selim, and recovered a pistol and another firearm from him.
Condemning the killing, the Bangladesh government released a statement saying it does not support illegal activities, mob violence, or mass beatings. The government clarified that the incident was not a communal attack and started due to extortion and criminal actions. It said legal action will be taken against everyone involved, directly or indirectly.
In the earlier case of Dipu Das, the government also showed its response. On 23 December, Education Adviser Professor C R Abrar visited Dipu’s family in Mymensingh to express sympathy and assure them of government support during their difficult time.
These back-to-back incidents have drawn attention to rising violence and the need for strict law enforcement to prevent mob justice and ensure safety for all citizens.
