A Hindu man, Amrit Mondal, was beaten to death by a mob in Bangladesh's Rajbari district over alleged extortion attempts. Police stated Mondal led a criminal gang and had prior cases, including murder. This incident follows the recent lynching of another Hindu man, Dipu Das, over blasphemy allegations. The interim government condemned Mondal's killing, asserting it was not communal but related to criminal activities, while also condemning mob violence. The back-to-back incidents raise concerns about minority safety and mob justice in Bangladesh.
