Human rights activists are reporting that a Hindu girl named Lavanya Rajbanshi (20) has been abducted and murdered in Munshiganj district, Bangladesh.
Lavanya was reportedly abducted on December 21 by one Saju Mia (25) and his accomplices Iftekhar Hossain (35), Chan Mia (50), Raju Mia and a woman Seema Akter (40). She was forcefully converted to Islam and married to Saju Mia. But within three days of this ‘wedding’, Lavanya (aka Nusrat Jahan, her post-conversion name) was murdered, allegedly by Saju Mia.
Apart from @VoiceOfBangladeshiHindus, twitter activist @PanditPradipChandra has also reported this crime. Further details are awaited, and we will update this article as more information becomes available.
In another hate crime, this time targeting a minor Hindu girl, Shatabdi Barman (15) was allegedly abducted by one Najmul & his friends on December 18. Shatabdi’s father Aditya Barman alleged that police isn’t doing anything to recover his daughter & in fact demanded money to investigate the case and recover the minor.
Extremely depressing. Our young Hindu girls are being kidnapped, converted, murdered. Sadly, this is no longer restricted to Bangladesh and Pakistan, but is becoming even more frequent in India itself! This was not the case 30 years back (I am much older, so just judging from newspaper reporting I am saying this). In recent 10 years, this epidemic has exploded even within India.
Who will save our Hindu girls? I feel very helpless.
