Hindu Murder in Bangladesh: The series of murders of people belonging to the Hindu community in Bangladesh continues, which started with the murder of Dipu Chandra Das on December 18, 2025, last month.

Amid escalating violence against minorities in Bangladesh, another Hindu youth was murdered in Sunamganj district on Thursday (January 8, 2026). The deceased has been identified as Joy Mahapatra. The victim's family alleges that a local man brutally assaulted him and then forced him to consume poison.

19-year-old Joy Mahapatra was admitted to the ICU of Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital in critical condition, where he died during treatment.

The killings of Hindus are continuing in Bangladesh.

This incident comes just days after a Hindu man was attacked and killed with sharp weapons in Bangladesh's Narsingdi district. Moni Chakraborty, 40, was attacked and killed in the Charsindhur Bazaar area of ​​Palash Upazila on Tuesday (January 6, 2026).

Similarly, just hours before Moni Chakraborty's murder, unknown assailants shot and killed a Hindu businessman and newspaper executive editor in the Jessore district of Bangladesh. Pratap, the son of a school teacher in Keshabpur Upazila, who had been running an ice factory in Kopalia Bazar for the past two years, was lured outside his factory by a group of men on Monday evening (January 5, 2026). He was then taken to an alley and shot.

The murder of Dipu Chandra Das started the killing of Hindus.

The killings of minority Hindus in Bangladesh began last month, on December 18, 2025, when a Hindu youth, Dipu Chandra Das, was beaten to death by a radical Islamic mob in the country's Mymensingh district on charges of alleged blasphemy, and his body was later hanged from a tree and set on fire.

Additionally, in Bangladesh, 50-year-old Hindu businessman Khokan Chandra Das was brutally attacked and then burned alive. He died in the hospital three days later.
