There has been news of targeting a Hindu temple once again in Bangladesh. The ISKCON Radhakanta temple in the country’s capital Dhaka was attacked and vandalized by a mob on Thursday. According to reports, several members of the temple located at 222 Lal Mohan Saha Street in Wari have been injured due to this. There has also been looting of valuables.
The attack on ISKCON was reportedly led by Haji Shafiullah. This is not the first time that a Hindu temple has been attacked in the country. Last year, violence broke out in Bangladesh’s Comilla town after news spread that the Quran was insulted by placing it in a Durga Puja pandal near the Nanur Dighi lake.
After this there was a fierce ruckus here and at least three people died. Earlier, similar incidents were reported in Dhaka’s Tipu Sultan Road and Chittagong’s Kotwali.
