Another Hindu man has been beaten to death in Bangladesh, days after Dipu Chandra Das was lynched and his body was set ablaze, local media reported on Thursday. Reports said 29-year-old Amrit Mondal alias Samrat was killed in Rajbari's Pangsha sub-district - around three-and-a-half hours from the capital, Dhaka - around 11 pm. Local residents told Bangladeshi media outlet The Daily Star that Samrat was the leader of a criminal gang, called the 'Samrat Bahini', which was involved in extortion, among other activities. Samrat had fled the country after Sheikh Hasina's ouster last year and had returned to his village, Hosendanga in Kalimohor union, recently.
