On Thursday (5th December) night, a Hindu woman named Chumki Rani Das was brutally murdered at her own residence in Khagrachari Sadar upazila in the Chittagong Division of Bangladesh.
The victim is the mother of Pranto Das, who is the coordinator of the Khagrachari unit of the ‘Sanatan Jagaran Mancha.’
The Hindu organisation recently came under the attack of Islamists, leading to the arrest of its chief Chinmoy Krishna Das Prabhu. Even Pranto Das received threats from radical Muslims on social media.
