ISKCON Temple In Dhaka Vandalised, 3 Injured

Dhaka: 

A mob of over 200 people attacked devotees and vandalized the ISKCON Radhakanta Temple in Bangladesh’s capital Dhaka on Thursday.

“Last evening when devotees were preparing for Gaura Purnima celebration, a mob of 200 people entered the premises of Shri Radhakanta Temple in Dhaka and started vandalising it,” Radharamn Das, Vice-President ISKCON Kolkata told ANI.

“Three of our devotees were injured. Fortunately, they called Police and were able to drive away miscreants from the temple premises,” he said.

Mr Das said that the attack is a matter of grave concern and appealed to the Bangladesh government to take stringent action and provide security to Hindu minorities in the country.

This incident comes after a series of attacks on minority religious places in Bangladesh that took place last October.
