India also flagged the “barbaric” lynching of Dipu Charan Das and expressed concern at the “attacks on minorities” in Bangladesh, riling Dhaka further. Hours later, a statement from the Bangladesh foreign office said: “The unjustifiable incident at the Bangladesh high commission residence in New Delhi on 20th December 2025 is highly regrettable and cannot be accepted as ‘misleading propaganda’. “The miscreants were allowed to carry out their activities right outside the perimeters of the high commission, creating panic among the personnel inside the complex. The high commission was not given advance information about this organised event. This led New Delhi to summon the Bangladesh high commissioner and ask him to ensure the safety of India’s mission and posts in Bangladesh.
