Who Was Dipu Chandra Das? The Hindu Man Lynched Over Blasphemy Allegations In Bangladesh

- A viral video shows the attack circulated widely on social media and stopped traffic on both sides of the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway, while police recovered the body and sent it to the Mymensingh Medical College morgue for autopsy.

- Amid nationwide unrest after Hadi's death, the killing follows protests in Dhaka and other cities and adds to attacks on the Hindu minority in Bangladesh since Sheikh Hasina's ouster last year.
