Bangladesh Unrest | Bangladesh Calls Lynched Hindu Man A Criminal, Questions On Mob Justice Rise

This special report focuses on the lynching of a second Hindu man, Amrit Mondal, in Bangladesh within a week. Bangladesh authorities deny it was a communal attack, stating Mondal was a criminal killed by a mob during an extortion attempt in the Rajbari district. Reporting from Bangladesh, India Today correspondent Anupam Mishra questions the official narrative and the state of law and order. Mishra asks, 'what was the police and administration was doing when thousands of people have gathered and started beating a person to death?'. The incident draws parallels to the previous lynching of Deepu Chandra Das, raising concerns about the safety of minorities and the rise of mob justice. The bulletin also features a report from Ashutosh Mishra on the return of BNP leader Tarique Rahman to Bangladesh after 17 years, ahead of the upcoming elections.
