Deepu Das Murder Case: Four Accused Confess in Court, Violence Against Minorities Takes a New Turn
Mymensingh, Bangladesh (December 26, 2025): The acts of cruelty against the minority community in Bangladesh, fueled by political instability, have reached new heights. A Hindu youth, Deepu Chandra Das, was subjected to mob lynching on charges of blasphemy. In the Mymensingh area, at around 9 PM, a mob brutally beat him and then tied him to a tree and burned him alive. This incident has spread fear among the Hindu community, and another young man, Amrit Mandal (alias Samrat, age 29), was also killed by a mob for extortion.
On Thursday (December 25), four main accused confessed to the crime in the Mymensingh Chief Judicial Magistrate Court. These accused—Tariq Hossain (19), Manik Mia (20), Nizamul Haque (20), and Ajmal Chaghir (26)—worked in the same factory as Deepu. They not only confessed to their own involvement but also named other individuals involved. Additional Superintendent of Police Abdullah Al Mamun stated that the statements of the accused under Section 164 are crucial and have given a new direction to the investigation.
The initial investigation suggested the possibility of a larger conspiracy, but now the conclusion is that it was not a premeditated plan. Rather, the incident occurred due to the sudden anger of a mob that had gathered because of rumors. The Superintendent of Police said, "The statements of the accused have accelerated the investigation, and all aspects of the incident are being revealed." So far, several individuals have been arrested, and six accused are to be sent to police custody on Friday (December 26).
In the wake of this incident, the Bangladesh government and administration have launched a thorough investigation. The increasing violence against minorities has heightened fear among the Hindu community and has also drawn international criticism. Deepu Das's family has demanded justice, and the witnesses to the incident have also sought help to overcome their fear.
This incident has reignited discussions about the safety of minorities in Bangladesh.
