Indian-American Lawmaker Condemns Lynching of Hindu Worker in Bangladesh

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025 (The Hindu e-Paper) — U.S. Representative Ro Khanna, an Indian-American lawmaker representing California’s 17th Congressional District, has strongly condemned the brutal murder of Dipu Chandra Das, a 27-year-old Hindu garment factory worker in Bangladesh. Das was reportedly lynched and his body set ablaze earlier this month in Baluka, Mymensingh, after accusations of blasphemy.

“The killing of Dipu Chandra Das is horrific,” Khanna stated in a social media post on Saturday. “My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family. We must unequivocally condemn and speak out against these vile acts of hatred and bigotry.”

Bangladeshi authorities have arrested approximately 12 people in connection with the murder.

Khanna’s condemnation follows growing international concern over rising violence and discrimination against minorities in Bangladesh. Last week, the United Nations also addressed the situation.

Stephane Dujarric, Spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, told reporters, “Yes, we’re very concerned about the violence that we’ve seen in Bangladesh.” He emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety of all residents. “Whether it’s in Bangladesh or any other country, people who don’t belong to the ‘majority’ need to feel safe and all Bangladeshis need to feel safe. And we’re confident that the government will do what it can to keep every single Bangladeshi safe,” Dujarric added.
