"blasphemy-allegations"

A Hindu man was lynched in Rajbari’s Pangsha upazila after being accused of extortion, days after another Hindu man, #DipuDas, was killed and his body set ablaze over blasphemy allegations in Mymensingh. Police confirmed the victim's death following his assault by locals and noted his alleged criminal background.

Images on social media showed smoke rising from the church buildings and people setting fire to furniture that had been dragged from them.
