India has strongly condemned the demolition of a Durga temple in Dhaka's Khilkhet area by Bangladesh's interim government led by Chief Adviser Yunus. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) criticized the interim administration for failing to protect the Hindu minority and allowing extremists to carry out the destruction, describing the government's portrayal of the incident as a case of illegal land use as unacceptable. The temple was razed using bulldozers following threats from a large mob demanding its removal. The demolition has sparked protests and outrage among minority groups in Dhaka, including human chains formed in Shahbagh to demand protection of Hindu rights. Bangladesh authorities defended the demolition as a lawful administrative action to recover government land. Separately, a Hindu woman was allegedly raped and tortured in Cumilla, Bangladesh, with a video of the assault circulating widely on social media, prompting national outrage. The main suspect, reportedly linked to the BNP, has been arrested along with others. The Indian government has urged Bangladesh to protect its minority communities amid these incidents. Additionally, there have been reports of further attacks on Hindu temples in Bangladesh, including the destruction of idols of deities Saraswati and Kartikeya.
