Bangladesh Reports Majority of 2025 Minority Incidents as Non-Communal, Details Released

The Bangladesh interim government, led by Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus, reported 645 incidents involving minority communities in 2025, with only 71 identified as communal. These communal cases included temple vandalism, arson, and threats, while the majority were linked to criminal or social disputes unrelated to religion, such as theft, land conflicts, and personal enmity. The government emphasized transparency and ongoing investigations amid concerns raised by India and reports of targeted attacks on Hindus in early 2026.
