'Tied To Tree, Set Ablaze; Dozens Celebrated Killing': Hindu Man's Father On Lynching In Bangladesh

'Tied To Tree, Set Ablaze; Dozens Celebrated Killing': Hindu Man's Father On Lynching In Bangladesh

A brutal mob lynching of a Hindu man has reignited fears over the safety of religious minorities in Bangladesh, as fresh unrest grips the country following the death of a prominent anti-India Islamist leader. Dipu Chandra Das, a garment factory worker from Mymensingh, was beaten to death on Thursday night after being accused of insulting Islam. The killing came as violent protests erupted in parts of Dhaka, more than 100 kilometres away, where demonstrators demanding justice for the assassination of Osman Sharif Hadi vandalised public landmarks. A killing that shocked even a hardened nation After the assault, Das’s body was tied to a tree and set ablaze, according to accounts from the area. Videos circulating on social media showed dozens of people celebrating the killing, scenes that have deepened outrage and alarm across the region. Speaking to NDTV, the victim’s father, Ravilal Das, struggled to hold back despair as he described how he learned of his son’s death, through Facebook. Despite condemnation from Muhammad Yunus’s interim government and orders for action, the family says it has received no reassurance from authorities. “No one from the government has given any assurance. No one said anything,” he said. ‘They tied him to a tree and burned him’ Ravilal Das recounted how rumours first surfaced online before neighbours began sharing details. “We started hearing things from Facebook, and then more people were talking about it,” he said. “Someone told me he was beaten badly. Half an hour later, my uncle came and told me they took my son and tied him to a tree.” What followed, he said, was unbearable to describe. “They poured kerosene on him and set him on fire. His burned body was left outside. They tied the burnt torso and head outside. It was horrible,” he told NDTV from his current location in Bangladesh. The grieving father said he could not yet confirm which group led the mob attack, noting speculation about Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh or its student wing, Chhatra Shibir. “We can’t say for sure whether they were from Chhatra Shibir or not. Nobody can be certain; it’s what people are saying,” he said. The lynching has again cast a harsh spotlight on the vulnerability of minorities—particularly Hindus—in Bangladesh. Observers say tensions have intensified since Hadi was shot dead, with his killing becoming a rallying point for hardline Islamist groups ahead of general elections expected in the coming months. Radical groups ‘taking over the streets’ Mohammad Ali Arafat, a former Member of Parliament and information minister under the Sheikh Hasina government, warned that extremist forces are exploiting protests over Hadi’s death to assert control in public spaces. In a post on social media platform X, Arafat said Hadi’s supporters held a sit-in at Shahbagh on Friday, December 19, demanding justice. “The program later turned into a gathering dominated by jihadist and radical Islamist elements,” he wrote, naming figures such as Jashimuddin Rahmani and Ataur Rahman Bikrampuri of Towhidi Janata. Leaders from other extremist groups were also present, he said, delivering provocative speeches. India voices alarm over minority safety The killing has also drawn sharp reactions from India, which has repeatedly raised concerns about the treatment of minorities in Bangladesh. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, a senior Opposition leader, described the lynching as “extremely alarming” and urged the Indian government to take note of what she called a pattern of rising violence. “The news of the brutal murder by a mob of Hindu youth Deepu Chandra Das in Bangladesh is extremely alarming,” she said. “In any civilised society, discrimination, violence, and murder based on religion, caste, identity, etc., are crimes against humanity.” She called on New Delhi to “firmly raise the issue” of the safety of Hindu, Christian and Buddhist minorities with the Bangladeshi government, as regional and international concern mounts over the latest episode of bloodshed.

Things To Do In 2026: A Designing Your Life Guide To Building A Happier, More Fulfilling Year

As the new year approaches, mental health experts are urging people to rethink the traditional idea of resolutions. Instead of chasing perfection or piling on goals, 2026 is being positioned as a year to pause, reflect, and design life with intention. Mental health and personal development experts share insights on how small, conscious shifts can lead to a calmer and more meaningful year ahead. ALSO READ: Holiday Parties And Heart Health: Why 'Holiday Heart Syndrome' Strikes In Winter Design Your Year, Don’t Just Drift Into It Dr. Malini Saba who is a psychologist, human & social rights activist and founder of the Saba Family Foundations, believes the beginning of 2026 is an opportunity to slow down before moving forward. "As 2026 begins, pause before you plan. Instead of rushing into resolutions, ask yourself one simple question: Am I living intentionally, or merely reacting to life? A fulfilling year is not found, it is designed," she says. Five Mindful Changes To Make In 2026 Dr. Saba suggests five mindful changes that highlight how everyday choices can quietly shape a more meaningful year. Remove What You Are Tired OfBefore adding anything new, notice what has been draining you. Too many commitments. Too much noise. Too much explaining. A better year often starts by letting go, not by trying harder. Pay Attention to Your Days, Not Your PlansLife is not lived in goals. It is lived in regular days. How you feel when you wake up, how tense or calm your evenings are, how often you feel rushed. These details tell you more than any plan ever will. Let Work Have a Place, Not ControlWork matters. It gives structure and meaning. But when it takes over everything else, life becomes narrow. In 2026, try to leave space around your work for rest, thinking, and real conversations. Be Careful with RelationshipsSome relationships bring ease. Others bring constant effort. Choose the ones where you do not have to shrink, perform, or defend yourself. Peace is not optional. It is essential. Live in a Way You Can Stand ByThere will be moments when it is easier to stay quiet or go along with what is expected. Pay attention in those moments. How you act then matters more than how you plan. Begin Where You Are And Follow What Energises You Navyug Mohnot who is a Stanford Certified DYL Educator, Coach and Facilitator  echoes the idea of starting small and staying curious. "2026 invites us to pause, breathe, and begin again - not from who we were, but from who we’re becoming," he says. He teaches people that a fulfilling year isn’t built through dramatic resolutions but through small, intentional shifts that change how we move through the world. Five Things To Step Into With Curiosity Navyug Mohnot shares a few guiding principles for navigating life and work with clarity and intention. First, start where you are. Not where you wish you were. Your power lies in beginning from your real, present life. Second, follow what energizes you. Energy is information. It points toward work, people and experiences that expand you. Third, prototype your way forward. Don’t wait for certainty. Test ideas in small, low-risk ways and let learning guide your next move. Fourth, build with others. Connection is not a luxury - it is fuel. Surround yourself with people who help you see possibilities. And finally, choose meaning in moments, not milestones. Meaning isn’t a grand revelation at the end of the year. It’s built quietly, in conversations, in courage, in tiny acts of alignment.

Bangladesh Bids Farewell To Sharif Osman Hadi, Historic Turnout Reported Amid Tight Security

Sharif Osman Hadi, the spokesperson of the Inqilab Mancha and prominent student leader, was laid to rest on Saturday following funeral prayers at 2 p.m. at the South Plaza of the National Parliament Building in Dhaka. Hadi had been fatally shot in the head by masked assailants on December 12 while launching his election campaign in Bijoynagar and later succumbed to his injuries in Singapore. The nation observed a day of state mourning in his honor, remembering Hadi as a pivotal figure in last year’s student-led protests that led to the resignation of the Sheikh Hasina government. At the time of his death, he was preparing to contest the upcoming general elections scheduled for February 12. Dhaka University Closes Campus To Ensure Order In anticipation of the funeral, Dhaka University authorities closed all campus entrances to maintain order and security during the ceremonies. Acting Director of the university’s Public Relations Office, Muhammad Rafiqul Islam, issued a notice urging teachers, students, staff, and the public to avoid gathering on campus, expressing regret for any inconvenience caused. Security was heightened across the city, particularly along Manik Mia Avenue, with army personnel deployed alongside large contingents of police, Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), and Ansar forces. Law enforcement maintained vigilance throughout the day to ensure public safety and preserve order during the funeral proceedings. Preparations & Final Rites At Dhaka University Preparations for Hadi’s burial began earlier in the day, with workers starting to dig his grave at Nazrul Samadhi Chottor around 11:30 a.m. From the morning hours, mourners from various backgrounds gathered to pay their respects. Many attendees were visibly emotional, some in tears, as they observed the final rites of the slain leader. The funeral brought together supporters, colleagues, and ordinary citizens, reflecting the deep impact Hadi had on Bangladesh’s student and political movements. His passing marks a significant moment in the nation’s political landscape, coming just weeks before the general elections. #WATCH | Dhaka, Bangladesh | Supporters of Osman Hadi, a key leader in the protests against Sheikh Hasina, have started arriving at Manik Mia Avenue to attend Hadi's funeral procession that will be held later today.After the death of Osman Hadi, Bangladesh erupted in unrest,… pic.twitter.com/NmaffvLprg — ANI (@ANI) December 20, 2025 Nation Remembers A Fallen Leader Hadi’s life and activism had made him a prominent figure among young voters and student activists.

Holiday Parties And Heart Health: Why 'Holiday Heart Syndrome' Strikes In Winter

(By Dr. Jagadesh Madireddi) The winter festive season brings joy, but we often see a rise in heart problems during this time. Changes in routine, heavy meals, alcohol, stress, and cold weather all contribute to increased cardiac risk. Festive meals rich in sugar, fat, and salt raise blood pressure and strain the heart. Overeating further increases metabolic demand. Even a single alcoholic drink can trigger atrial fibrillation (AFib) in some, especially older adults or those with a history of arrhythmias. ALSO READ: Protecting Your Eyes During Winter: Expert Advice You Shouldn’t Ignore Winter Lifestyle Habits That Can Strain The Heart Cold temperatures add another layer of risk. Blood vessels constrict to preserve body heat, forcing the heart to work harder and raising blood pressure. Sudden exposure to cold after late-night parties or early outings can lead to angina, heart attacks, or strokes. Seasonal changes often worsen preexisting heart conditions. Alcohol intake is a major culprit behind 'holiday heart syndrome.' Holiday Heart Syndrome (HHS) was first described as alcoholinduced arrhythmia, but now we recognize it as a multifactorial condition. Following are the major triggers : Younger adults at risk: Traditionally, cardiovascular emergencies were seen in older populations. Now, people under 45 are increasingly presenting with acute cardiac complaints during Christmas and New Year celebrations. Blood pressure spikes: Excess salt intake and alcohol can cause sudden surges in blood pressure, which may lead to strokes or heart attacks. Arrhythmias in youth: Even those without prior heart disease can develop atrial fibrillation or palpitations after binge drinking or sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation and stress: Staying up late, packed social calendars, and psychological stress elevate adrenaline and cortisol, disturbing heart rhythm and raising blood pressure. Electrolyte imbalance: Alcohol and dehydration disrupt potassium and magnesium levels, which are critical for stable cardiac conduction. Stroke risk: AFib increases the chance of blood clots forming in the heart, which can travel to the brain and cause stroke. Warning Signs And Prevention Tips Warning signs include chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, unexplained fatigue, or rapid heartbeat. These should not be dismissed as indigestion or holiday stress. Early medical attention is essential to prevent complications. Fortunately, most holidayrelated heart problems are preventable. Limiting alcohol, avoiding binge drinking, and alternating drinks with water help maintain rhythm stability. Eating smaller portions, lighter meals, and avoiding latenight feasts reduce cardiac risks. Adequate sleep is equally important, as poor rest distrubs blood pressure and stress hormones. Managing stress, setting boundaries at social events, and wearing warm clothing in winter further protect heart health. Preventive Measures During Winter Festives: Limit alcohol and avoid binge drinking. Alternate alcoholic drinks with water to maintain hydration. Reduce salt intake to prevent blood pressure spikes. Ensure adequate sleep to stabilize heart rhythms. Manage stress and avoid overexertion in cold weather. Seek medical help immediately if symptoms like chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, or shortness of breath occur.
