A horrifying incident has once again exposed the plight of minorities in Bangladesh. A Hindu schoolgirl, Purnima Das, was brutally raped and then murdered in Satkhira.
The victim’s body was found near her residence, leaving the local Hindu community devastated and enraged. Eyewitnesses reported that villagers rushed to the scene in shock, demanding justice and immediate action.
This brutal crime has intensified fears among Hindus, who say they are living in constant insecurity. Community leaders and rights activists have declared that Hindus are totally unsafe in Bangladesh, as repeated incidents of violence and targeted attacks continue without effective protection from authorities.
Police have launched an investigation, but widespread anger remains, with urgent calls for the arrest of the culprits and strong punishment.
The tragedy of Purnima Das is being seen as yet another dark reminder of the dangerous reality faced by Hindus in Bangladesh.
