Extremists who belong to the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) vandalised the house of a Hindu family on 18th March and issued death threats to them in Sylhet city of Bangladesh.
According to the media sources, the victim was identified as a differently-abled Asim Kumar Das. The local BNP leader Jasmine Begum, and her brothers Raihan Mia, Kawasar and Kamal Ahmed pelted stones and bricks at his house on Tuesday.
They also broke the glass panes. Extremists assaulted the victim’s parents with sticks and pipes. The BNP leader and her aides also entered the premises of Asim Kumar Das’ house and carried out vandalism.
They also threatened to kill his parents. Thereafter, the Hindu family filed a complaint with the local police. OC Syed Anisur Rahman claimed that the dispute was over ‘road space’ and that the situation was under control.
On learning about the incident, the leaders of the local Sylhet Metropolitan Puja Udjavan Parishad and the Bangladesh Hindu-Buddhist-Christian Unity Council visited the residence of the Hindu family.
Previously, the BNP leader Jasmine Begum attacked the residence of Asim Kumar Das not once but 3 different times.
The extremists were successful in encroaching 2 feet of space and demanded an additional 5 feet of space from the helpless Hindu family. They carried out vandalism and issued threats when the demands were not met.
In January 2025, as per OpIndia, 4 radicals associated with Chatra Dal (the student wing of the Islamist political party BNP) abducted three Hindus from Chittagong and demanded ransom from their families.
