At least five houses of a Hindu family were set on fire in Dumritala village in the Muslim-dominated nation's Pirojpur district, in what is suspected to be a targeted attack on minorities. The incident occurred on December 28, over a week after 29-year-old garment worker Dipu Chandra Das was attacked by a mob, lynched, and his body set on fire over blasphemy allegations in Mymensingh on December 18.
