No Protection, No Peace: Hindu Families Abandon Homes Amid Rising Religious Violence --- Although a 17-year-old boy has been arrested in Rangpur’s Gangachara Upazila over alleged blasphemy, at least 18 homes belonging to Hindu families have since come under repeated attack by enraged mobs. The incidents have created a climate of fear, prompting many residents to pack up their belongings and flee the village. Fear Remains Despite Military Presence Even after the deployment of army and police, fear continues to haunt the Hindu community. Families are seen loading their household items onto vans and moving in with relatives in distant areas. Many are asking: “The accused has been arrested and should be punished. But why are mobs using loudspeakers to incite attacks on innocent Hindu homes? Why the looting and destruction?” Teen Arrested, Mob Violence Unleashed Police say the boy was arrested Saturday night after receiving complaints about a Facebook post allegedly disrespecting religion. He is a third-semester student at a private polytechnic institute. The following day, he was charged under the Cyber Security Act and sent to a juvenile rehabilitation center. That same night, mobs marched in protest, demanding punishment. The crowd later attacked and vandalized the teen’s home — as well as several neighboring houses. Police and military forces intervened late at night to bring the situation under control. Organized Attacks After Public Gathering On Sunday, human chains were organized in Banglabazar and Khilalganj of Kishoreganj in protest of the alleged blasphemy. Using public announcements (miking), large crowds were gathered. By afternoon, mobs attacked at least 18 Hindu homes in the area. Homes belonging to the following residents were vandalized: Promod Mohonto Sujan Roy Kishob Roy Joychand Roy Amit Mohonto Rabindranath Roy Dharani Mohonto Atul Roy Suman Roy Dhananjay Roy Kamalakanta Roy Subal Roy Abinash Roy Lalmohan Roy Haridas Roy Manoranjan Sheel Liton Mohonto Upin Chandra Mohonto Looting Accompanied the Destruction According to victims’ families, most of the attackers came from Banglabazar in Kishoreganj. In addition to vandalizing homes, they looted gold, cash, sacks of rice, cattle, clothing, and furniture. By Monday afternoon, at least 25 families had fled the village, confirmed local Union Parishad member Paresh Chandra Roy, who said: “Villagers are receiving threatening calls from unknown numbers. Many are too scared to step outside.” Authorities Respond — But No Arrests Yet Gangachara Model Police Station OC Al Emran admitted: “Some families have left their homes in fear. We’ve assured them that law enforcement is deployed in the village and the situation is under control.” “We haven’t received any formal complaints regarding the attacks, so no arrests have been made.” Gangachara Upazila Executive Officer (UNO) Mahmud Hasan Mridha said: “The arrested boy’s family and some others have left their homes out of fear. But we’re reassuring the community — there's no need to flee. The situation is calm now. We’re providing dry food to affected families and will offer financial assistance as well.” #SaveBangladeshiMinorities #SaveBangladeshiHindus #Bangladesh #BangladeshCrisis
