The United States has condemned the mob lynching of Dipu Chandra Das, a Hindu garment worker in Bangladesh, calling the act "horrific" and a "vile act of hatred and bigotry." A US State Department spokesperson stated the US "unequivocally condemns religious violence in all its forms" and welcomed measures by Bangladesh's interim government to ensure community safety. US Congressman Ro Khanna also urged global condemnation of such acts. The incident, which occurred over alleged blasphemy charges, has intensified concerns about the safety of religious minorities in Bangladesh, with protests occurring internationally.
