Rajbari (Bangladesh):In a disturbing continuation of mob violence in Bangladesh, another Hindu man was beaten to death in Rajbari district, just days after the lynching and burning of Dipu Chandra Das, according to local media reports.

The victim has been identified as Amrit Mondal (29), also known as Samrat, who was killed late Wednesday night in Pangsha sub-district, approximately three-and-a-half hours from the capital Dhaka. The incident occurred around 11 pm, police said.

According to preliminary investigations, Mondal and several associates allegedly went to the house of a local resident, Shahidul Islam, to extort money. When the family raised an alarm, shouting that the men were robbers, villagers rushed to the spot. While most of Mondal’s alleged accomplices managed to flee, he was caught by the crowd and severely beaten.

Police officials said Mondal was rescued from the mob and rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival.

Authorities confirmed that two cases had been registered against Mondal at Pangsha Police Station, including one related to murder. During follow-up operations, police arrested one of his associates, Mohammed Selim, from whom a pistol and another firearm were recovered.

The killing has once again brought attention to the growing incidents of mob violence and the fragile law-and-order situation in parts of the country. The incident comes at a particularly sensitive time, following the recent lynching of Dipu Chandra Das, whose death had sparked outrage and concern among minority communities and rights groups.

Police have launched a detailed investigation into the Pangsha incident and are searching for the remaining suspects who fled the scene. Officials have appealed to the public to refrain from taking the law into their own hands and to report crimes directly to authorities.

The latest killing has renewed fears among minority communities, even as rights activists warn that repeated incidents of mob justice risk deepening social tensions and undermining confidence in the justice system.
