Hindu minority leader Bhajesh Chandra Roy brutally murdered in Bangladesh
“Why do the secularists who take to the streets and debate on TV when minorities are not protected in India keep quiet about the attacks and massacres taking place against Hindus in Bangladesh and West Bengal, our country”?
Amaravati: Attacks and violence against minority Hindus in Bangladesh are increasing day by day. Recently, a Hindu minority leader, Bhajesh Chandra Roy, was kidnapped and brutally beaten to death in Dinajpur district of northern Bangladesh. India strongly condemned the incident. Indian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal made a statement on Saturday demanding immediate action to protect the minority Hindus.
“It has come to our attention that Hindu minority leader Bhabesh Chandra Roy was abducted from his home and brutally murdered. Another attack on Hindu minorities under the Bangladeshi interim government has been added to the list. We strongly condemn this attack… Since no action has been taken against those who have committed such attacks in the past, they are roaming freely with impunity. “We once again remind the interim government to take responsibility for protecting minorities without any excuses or discrimination,” Randhir Jaiswal said in the statement.
(Roy is the vice-president of the Biral unit of the Bangladesh Pooja Udyapan Parishad.)
The Daily Star newspaper reported that 58-year-old Babesh Chandra Roy was abducted from his home and beaten to death.

After 30 minutes, four men came on two bikes and took Babesh to Narabari village. There, he was brutally attacked and left unconscious at home. His family members rushed him to the hospital. But he was already dead.
