A group of Muslims had alleged that Bikash Dhar Deepta made 'objectional remarks' about the last Prophet of Islam on Facebook on 11th May. Soon after, they hounded him and created chaos and unrest in Moulvibazar Sadar upazila.
A local Hindu leader named Paresh Saha said that a 'group' had been threatening to evict Hindus from the place. He stated that the crematorium is being filled with sand to build a cattle market.
After the news of the ill-treatment meted out to the Hindu community became viral, the same Muslims who threatened the Hindus for the past 7 days came forward to give out a message of 'communal harmony.'
In disturbing visuals that have surfaced on social media, the extremists could be seen attacking the Hindu man with sticks and rods. Akhil Chandra Mondal was seen bleeding from his head while the police escorted him away.
It has come to light that the BNP leader Jasmine Begum had previously attacked the residence of Asim Kumar Das not once but 3 different times. Attempts were being made to encorach his house in the guise of clearing space for the road.
Vctim Pulak Kumar informed, "I and my brothers had been living on this land, which was purchased about 40 years ago. We have all the documents. Bitan and his aides trespassed into our land, created chaos and began a fight."
While speaking about the matter, temple caretaker Uttam Karmakar stated, "I went to the temple on Sunday (2nd March) morning to offer puja and found the idol broken."
