According to authorities, an Islamist mob in Bangladesh’s Narail district assaulted a Hindu temple and vandalised several houses belonging to the minority community on Saturday.
On Friday evening, a young Hindu boy’s social media post sparked rioting in Digholia hamlet. A Hindu family’s home was also set ablaze. Following Friday prayers, there was fighting. According to police inspector Haran Chandra Paul, the Islamists were dispersed when police fired warning bullets. The Hindu child, according to Paul, apparently posted something on Facebook that enraged Muslims.
According to Narail Superintendent of Police Prabir Kumar Roy, law enforcement is striving to keep the situation under control. “We’re looking into the incident. Those responsible for the violence will be held accountable. For the time being, the situation is normal “He stated. So far, no one has been arrested.
It took the Bangladeshi police until late at night to bring the situation under control, and they deployed tear gas and fired empty rounds to disperse the enraged crowd.
