Atrocities against Hindus continue unabated in Bangladesh, 6 Mandirs looted in 24 hours, victims narrate ordeal

In less than 24 hours, six Hindu temples were looted in Kotalipara Upazila, Gopalganj district, Bangladesh, leading to rising concerns within the Hindu community. Thieves targeted gold and silver ornaments adorning deities and puja essentials worth thousands of rupees. Some temples were left unlocked, making them vulnerable to robbery. Community members expressed deep distress over repeated attacks on religious places and urged authorities to take strict action. Local police have launched an investigation, but no arrests have been made yet. Residents fear these incidents may be part of a broader pattern of targeting Hindu places of worship. The affected temples serve as important spiritual centers, making these thefts even more concerning. The community has appealed for security measures to protect their places of worship and prevent further incidents.
