Another Hindu man lynched in Bangladesh over 'extortion' claim in Rajbari district

A disturbing case of mob violence has once again emerged from Bangladesh, where a 29-year-old Hindu man was beaten to death by a violent group. As per reports, the incident took place on Wednesday (December 24) in the Pangsha area of Rajbari district and has intensified concerns over rising mob attacks in the country. The victim has been identified as Amrit Mandal, who was killed after locals accused him of demanding extortion.

According to police, Mandal alias Samrat was assaulted late at night around 11 pm at the Hossaindanga Old Market in Pangsha upazila. Police confirmed that Mandal died shortly after the attack. Local residents allegedly accused Mandal of demanding extortion, which



escalated into mob violence. Police records describe him as the leader of a small local group known as the Samrat Bahini.

As per reports, Amrit Mandal was widely regarded as a Hindu community leader in the region. Several reports claimed that he had at least two cases registered against him at Pangsha police station, including a murder case. The mob claimed he ran a criminal gang and justified the killing by accusing him of being involved in extortion and other unlawful activities. This incident came days after another Hindu youth, Deepu Chandra Das, was brutally lynched on December 18. In that case too, mobs had attempted to justify their actions with allegations later found to be questionable.
