Lynching of Dipu Chandra Das
Crime in Bangladesh
On 18 December 2025, Dipu Chandra Das, a Hindu garment worker in Bhaluka, Bangladesh, was beaten, hanged from a tree, and set on fire, in an anti-Hindu hate crime by mob, after being falsely accused of making derogatory remarks about Islam at a factory event. Investigators later reported that no evidence was found to support the allegation.
Background
The lynching took place against a backdrop of escalating violence in Bangladesh following an attack on Sharif Osman Hadi, a prominent youth leader who died on 18 December 2025 from gunshot wounds sustained during an assassination attempt. Hadi had been a key figure in the July Uprising that led to the ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in August 2024. His death sparked violent protests across the country, with attacks on media offices, cultural institutions, and Indian diplomatic missions.
Following the removal of Sheikh Hasina's government, Bangladesh witnessed increased violence against the Hindu minority community. According to the 2022 Bangladesh national census, there were approximately 13.1 million Hindus in Bangladesh, constituting about 7.95% of the country's population.
Dipu Chandra Das was a garment factory worker employed at Pioneer Knit Composite Factory in the Square Masterbari area of Bhaluka Upazila. He was a 27-year-old resident of Mukamiakanda village in Tarakanda Upazila of Mymensingh District. He was married and the father of a three-year-old daughter.
