Days after the brutal murder of Dipu Chandra Das, another Hindu man was beaten to death by a mob in Bangladesh’s Rajbari district.
The victim has been identified as Amrit Mondal alias Samrat. He was reportedly beaten to death over allegations of extortion.
According to local media reports, Samrat ran a gang and was allegedly involved in extortion and other criminal activities.
This crme came days after Dipu Chandra Das, a Hindu garment factory worker, was lynched to death by a mob over allegations of blasphemy.
The mob later hanged his body and set it on fire, raising concerns over the safety of the minority community in the country.
His death prompted widespread criticism from India and protest from the Opposition Congress and some right-wing groups.

The incident came amid rising violence against Hindus and other minority groups in Bangaldesh following the assassination of prominent youth leader Sharif Osman Hadi.
The lynching of Dipu Das triggered a wave of strong protests in India by the Opposition Congress and some right wing organisations.
On Monday, a large group of Congress workers gathered outside the Bangladesh High Commission in Kolkata and chanted slogans against the Yunus-led Interim Government.
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi has also condemned the lynching of Dipu Das and demanded the Indian government to strongly raise the issue of violence against Hindus with the Bangaldeshi government.
