Three Hindu temples in Chattogram, Bangladesh, were vandalised on Friday by a mob chanting anti-Hindu slogans. The attack, targeting Shantaneshwari Matri Temple, Shoni Temple, and Shantaneshwari Kalibari Temple, followed protests triggered by the sedition-related arrest of ex-ISKCON leader Chinmoy Krishna Das. Temple authorities stated the mob arrived post-Juma prayers, damaging gates and property. Police confirmed minimal damage after clashes. India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar urged Bangladesh to ensure minority safety, while Bangladesh expressed concern over a protest at its Kolkata mission. Rising extremist rhetoric has escalated tensions between the two nations.
