Hindu Temples in Bangladesh Targeted in Recent Vandalism Spree

Eight idols were destroyed at three temples in Mymensingh and Dinajpur, with arrests made as attacks on minorities escalate.

Three Hindu temples in Bangladesh were vandalized this week, resulting in the destruction of eight idols in Mymensingh and Dinajpur districts.
Police have arrested two suspects in connection with the incidents, with one individual confessing to the crime during interrogation.
The attacks are part of a growing trend of violence against the Hindu minority in Bangladesh, with over 2,200 cases reported this year.
Diplomatic tensions between India and Bangladesh have risen, with Indian officials urging Bangladesh to ensure the safety of minority communities.
The incidents follow political upheaval in Bangladesh, including the ousting of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the rise of an interim government under Muhammad Yunus.
