In yet another incident of a Hindu man being killed in Bangladesh, a 45-year-old factory owner, who was also the acting editor of a newspaper, has been shot in the head by a group of men.
Local sources alleged Rana Pratap had multiple cases filed against him and was allegedly involved with an extremist group.
Pratap’s killing comes close on the heels of the rape of a Hindu widow and the murders of at least three Hindu men in the country since December, prompting condemnation of the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government’s handling of violence against minorities.
