Multiple Hindu men have been killed in Bangladesh in recent weeks, raising concerns over rising violence against minorities ahead of parliamentary elections. In the latest incident, Joy Mahapatro was allegedly beaten and poisoned in Sunamganj district. Data indicates at least 51 such incidents were reported in December. These killings follow other recent attacks, including the lynching of Dipu Chandra Das over blasphemy allegations and the deaths of Mithun Sarkar and Moni Chakraborty. Human rights observers note a broader state failure to protect vulnerable communities.
