India on Sunday (December 21, 2025) described the killing of a minority Hindu youth in Bangladesh as a “horrendous act” and expressed “strong concern” about the safety of minority communities in the neighbouring country. Our officials remain in touch with Bangladesh authorities and have conveyed to them our strong concerns at the attacks on minorities. We have also urged that the perpetrators of the barbaric killing of Das be brought to justice,” said Mr. Jaiswal in a statement. The report said a group of men belonging to Akhand Hindu Sena had come to the main gate of the Bangladesh High Commission in Chanakyapuri’s Radhakrishnan Marg and held an “aggressive” demonstration. Mr. Hossein’s opinions were further amplified by a Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement, which said, “The intercommunal situation in Bangladesh is better than in many other parts in South Asia.”
