Huge protests have erupted outside the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi over the atrocities against minorities in Bangladesh and the mob lynching of a Hindu man, Dipu Chandra Das, in Mymensingh. The situation remained tense as protestors managed to break barricades, while security forces tried to control the crowd.
Security was increased outside the High Commission ahead of a protest by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal over attacks on Hindus in the neighbouring country. The area has been secured with three layers of barricading, with force from the police and paramilitary deployed in the area.
The VHP and Bajrang Dal have announced a demonstration at the high commission building to denounce alleged atrocities against Hindus and vandalism of their religious places in Bangladesh.
