Since Sheikh Hasina’s resignation on August 5, the Hindu community in Bangladesh has faced severe violence, with at least five reported deaths and over 200 incidents of attacks. Local Hindu leaders will meet interim government chief advisor Muhammad Yunus to address these concerns. The violence follows widespread unrest and has left many in hiding. Although some local Muslim groups have stepped in to protect Hindu sites, the absence of police has exacerbated the situation. Yunus has called for student protection of minority communities amid escalating tensions and concerns from international observers.
