On Sunday (20th July), an extremist mob carried out an arson attack at a Hindu home in Dimla upazila in Nilphamari district of Bangladesh.
In a disturbing video that has surfaced on social media, a Hindu woman was heard saying, “Our houses have been set on fire. They have broken down our homes. They have destroyed our temple.”
“We called the police, but they did not come. They (the mob) destroyed the idols in our temple,” she added. The video showed a burning house and women crying in the background.
A man in the video was heard saying, “It is the handiwork of members of Chhatra Dal (student wing of the BNP).”
Visuals of destroyed idols of Hindu deities were shared on social media.
