In Bangladesh’s Mymensingh district, a Hindu man named Dipu Chandra Das was brutally lynched by a mob over alleged blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad, his body tied to a tree and set on fire, police said. The killing occurred amid widespread nationwide unrest triggered by the death of radical activist Sharif Osman Hadi, which has sparked massive anti-government and anti-India protests across major cities. Authorities later regained control, recovered the body, and began investigations, but no formal complaint has yet been filed. The incident highlights rising tensions and communal violence in Bangladesh. (PC: AP)
