A 28-year-old Hindu auto driver, Samir Das, was beaten and stabbed to death in Daganbhuiyan in Bangladesh’s Chittagong region on Sunday night, local media reported. Police said the attackers used sharp weapons and then stole his battery-run auto rickshaw. An officer said the killing appeared to be “pre-planned” and efforts were on to identify the suspects. Rights groups have raised concern over a rise in attacks on minority communities ahead of the February national election.
