Bangladesh Mob Violence: Hindu Homes Targeted After Social Media Post
A mob in Bangladesh attacked and damaged at least a dozen Hindu homes on July 29, 2025. The violence erupted following allegations that a 17-year-old made derogatory remarks about the Prophet Muhammad on social media.
The teenager was swiftly arrested and subsequently sent to a rehabilitation centre. Authorities are investigating the incident thoroughly.
The Bangladeshi government has taken immediate action, ordering the repair of all damaged Hindu homes. This follows a pattern of similar incidents in recent years, raising concerns about religious harmony.
The incident underscores the urgent need for stronger measures to curb religious extremism and protect minority communities in Bangladesh. The long-term impact on communal relations remains a significant concern for the region.
