Hindu temples damaged amid Bangladesh unrest, Indian cultural centre vandalised

As the world watches the escalating tensions in Bangladesh after the exile of former Prime Minister Sheikh Haseena on Monday, the Islamist extremists in the country have launched grave attacks and violence against the Hindu community.

Several media reports have suggested that the extremists have vandalized Hindu temples and houses. An International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISCKON) temple in Meherpur, based in Bangladesh's Khulna division was vandalized and set on fire amid the unrest.

According to a spokesperson of the ISCKON, not only did the mob vandalize the temple but burnt deities of Lord Jagannath, Baladev, and Subhadra Devi.
