7 arrested over Hindu man's lynching in Bangladesh

On Saturday, Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus confirmed seven arrests by Rapid Action Battalion in Dipu Chandra Das's lynching in Bhaluka, Mymensingh district.
A coworker publicly alleged derogatory remarks by Dipu Chandra Das during the garment factory event marking World Arabic Language Day, spreading the claim and inflaming a crowd.
Around 9 pm on Thursday, a mob attacked and beat him to death, tied his body to a tree at the Square Masterbari bus stand, moved it to the Dhaka–Mymensingh highway, and set it ablaze; police later recovered the body and sent it for autopsy.
The interim government of Bangladesh condemned the lynching on Friday, vowed legal action against perpetrators, and the United Nations called for restraint as Indian politicians urged accountability.
The lynching occurred amid nationwide unrest tied to Sharif Osman Hadi's killing, with protests and security concerns escalating ahead of the February 12 parliamentary elections.
