The rising violence in Bangladesh against the minority Hindu community over an alleged incident of desecration of the Quran during Durga Puja celebrations in Cumilla, Chittagong division, has led to the death of at least six. The violence continued with mobs attacking houses at a village in Rangpur\u2019s Pirganj Upazila. The fresh violence was triggered by a “religiously abusive”<\/a> Facebook post by a man believed to be from the Hindu community.<\/p>\n

A verified Twitter handle ‘Bangladesh Hindu Unity Council’ (@UnityCouncilBD) has tweeted a video claiming it’s from Rangpur. The video drew over 1 lakh views.<\/p>\n

OpIndia<\/a> wrote an article carrying the tweet by @UnityCouncilBD. The pro-BJP propaganda website claimed, “In a video footage shared by BHUC, it could be seen that a temple was set on fire by the Islamist mob while the firemen tried to extinguish it. Idols kept within the temple premises were also charred in the arson attack.”<\/p>\n

The same video was shared by a Facebook page named ‘Social Tripura Network’. The news ticker in Bengali flashing at the bottom says that the incident took place in ‘\u09ae\u09b0\u09be\u099b\u09a1\u09bc\u09be \u09ac\u09be\u099c\u09be\u09b0’ or Mara Cherra Bazar which is in Karatichhara, Tripura.<\/p>\n

It is noteworthy that the visuals of Mara Cherra Bazar match in the viral video and PB24’s video. The pillars of the building, the railings behind the Durga idol and the structure of the idol itself match.<\/p>\n
