Indian Tourist Attacked in Bangladesh Over Religious Identity

Sayan Ghosh, a Kolkata resident, was assaulted in Dhaka after disclosing his Hindu and Indian identity, raising concerns about minority safety in Bangladesh.

Sayan Ghosh, a 22-year-old from Kolkata, was attacked by a group of men in Dhaka on November 26 after revealing he was a Hindu from India.
The attackers assaulted him with stones and knives, leaving him with head injuries requiring multiple stitches, and stole his phone and wallet.
Local police refused to file a complaint, questioned his visit, and advised him to seek medical treatment instead of offering assistance.
Ghosh's friend's family, who hosted him in Dhaka, faced threats for sheltering an Indian Hindu, prompting Ghosh to leave Bangladesh for safety.
The Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Kolkata has pledged a fair investigation if an official complaint is lodged, as concerns grow over rising violence against minorities in Bangladesh.
