On Friday (19th December), a frenzied Muslim mob vandalised the residence of Hindu journalist Sushant Dasgupta following demonstrations over the death of radical anti-India leader Osman Hadi.
The incident occurred in the Chirakandi area in Habiganj town in Sylhet Division of Bangladesh. Sushant Dasgupta is associated with the daily Amar Habiganj.
He has been living in the United Kingdom since his release on bail, following an arbitrary arrest under the Digital Security Act (DSA) in 2020.
Sushanta Dasgupta is a Bangladeshi investigative journalist based in London. He has written on the financial frauds of Yunus and the targetted attacks on Hindus. This is the price his family still in Bangladesh has to pay! https://t.co/LBvAot3ze6
