Bangladesh say 88 cases of violence recorded against minorities, primarily Hindus since Hasina's ouster

NEW DELHI: Bangladesh reported 88 incidents of communal violence targeting minorities, primarily Hindus, since the ouster of former premier Sheikh Hasina in August, interim government head Muhammad Yunus’ press secretary Shafiqul Alam said on Tuesday.
Authorities have arrested 70 individuals in connection with the incidents.
The disclosure came a day after Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri expressed concern over attacks on minorities during meetings with Bangladeshi leaders. Misri emphasised India’s focus on the safety and welfare of minorities in the neighbouring country.
According to Alam, 88 cases were registered between August 5 and October 22. “The number of cases and arrests is likely to increase as new incidents of violence have also been reported in (northeastern) Sunamganj, (central) Gazipur, and other areas,” he told reporters.
He noted that some victims may have been former members of the previous ruling party. However, the government maintained that most incidents were not motivated by religion. “Some attacks targeted individuals who were former members of the ruling party or they were the result of personal disputes. Nevertheless, since violence occurred, the police are taking appropriate action,” Alam said.
The Bangladeshi government has assured further details on incidents occurring after October 22 will be made public soon.
