Tensions between India and Bangladesh have been escalating ever since Sheikh Hasina’s ouster. However, after the arrest of Hindu priest Chinmoy Krishna Das, concerns have increased over the treatment of minorities in the country.

Protests organized by the Bangladesh Hindu Rights Retrieval Committee in Trichy and Karur highlight the rising concerns over violence against Hindus in Bangladesh, leading to large demonstrations and police detentions.
