Law enforcement agencies on Saturday arrested four individuals for vandalising and damaging houses and shops of the Hindu community and the local Loknath temple in Sunamganj district in Bangladesh earlier this month
"A total of 88 cases have been filed in incidents related to minorities from August 5 to October 2. The number of cases and arrests is likely to increase as new incidents of violence have also been reported in (northeastern Sunamganj, (central) Gazipur, and other areas," the interim government told the reporters.
The Islamists who attacked the temple on 5th August burned the Hindu scriptures, vandalized the Hindu idols, and forced the Hindu devotees and priests to run for their lives. Amid the chaos, those who could not escape from the temple during the attack escaped the rioters by jumping into the well.
The letter includes Dr AK Singh, Abhishek Banerjee, Ashwin Sanghi, Dr. Amit Thadhani, Dr Ratan Sharda, Hindol Sengupta, Rajeev Mantri, Smita Barooah, Dr Vikram Sampath, Pankaj Saxena, Srinidhi Balasubramanian, and more.
"Has anyone seen that your dreams have been shattered in front of your eyes? I am seeing that. I am seeing how my future is being destroyed. My workplace is burned. I worked yesterday here, in my shop and now it has been destroyed," Hindu could be heard saying in the video.
