A 62-year-old Hindu trader, Susen Chandra Sarkar, was hacked to death inside his shop in Trishal, Bangladesh, on February 9, 2026. Attackers struck him with sharp weapons, looted several hundred thousand taka, and fled after shuttering the shop. His family discovered him covered in blood; he died at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital. His son reported no prior disputes, calling for swift justice. This killing follows recent violent attacks on Hindus, including victims burned alive and murdered. The Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council documented 51 communal violence incidents in December 2025 alone, raising alarm as parliamentary elections approach on February 12. (PC: X)
