Dhaka, Dec 26: A 29-year-old Hindu man was beaten to death by a mob in Rajbari district, Bangladesh, in an incident that police have linked to an alleged extortion attempt, local authorities said. The attack took place late on Wednesday night in Pangsha upazila, and the victim was later declared dead at a nearby health facility. Police responded to reports of the assault and said the violence escalated after local residents confronted the man over alleged extortion, leading to the mob beating. The incident occurred amid a tense atmosphere in the country following recent mob violence, including other attacks on members of minority communities.
This is being seen as part of a broader pattern of mob justice cases that have drawn concern about law and order and the safety of minorities in some regions of Bangladesh.
