Four individuals were arrested for vandalizing a Hindu temple, homes, and shops in Sunamganj, Bangladesh, following tensions over a Facebook post. The incident on December 3 involved a mob attacking the Loknath Temple and properties of the Hindu community after a post by Akash Das circulated online. Police detained Das for safety but faced mob resistance. Authorities filed cases against 12 identified and over 150 unidentified suspects. Communal violence against minorities has surged in Bangladesh, with 88 incidents reported since August. India has expressed strong concerns over these attacks, while international groups call for immediate action to protect minorities.
