Amid the unrest in Bangladesh following the resignation of erstwhile Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday, August 5, reports indicate<\/a> that Hindu minorities in the country are being targeted in several places. A video that is viral in this context shows a woman with a tape over her mouth and her hands and legs tied up. Users have shared the clip with the claim that the woman was being targeted for being a Hindu in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

News 18 Hindi published a report about the video claiming that the girl seen in the video was a Hindu. The title of the report read, “\u092f\u0939 \u0935\u0940\u0921\u093f\u092f\u094b \u0906\u092a\u0915\u094b \u0926\u0947\u0917\u093e \u091d\u0915\u091d\u094b\u0930… \u0926\u0947\u0916\u093f\u090f \u092c\u093e\u0902\u0917\u094d\u0932\u093e\u0926\u0947\u0936 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0939\u093f\u0902\u0926\u0942 \u0932\u0921\u093c\u0915\u0940 \u0915\u0947 \u0938\u093e\u0925 \u0915\u094d\u092f\u093e \u0939\u094b \u0930\u0939\u093e \u0939\u0948… \u092e\u0941\u0938\u094d\u0932\u093f\u092e \u0926\u0947\u0936\u094b\u0902 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0905\u0932\u094d\u092a\u0938\u0902\u0916\u094d\u092f\u0915 \u0939\u094b\u0928\u093e \u0915\u094d\u092f\u093e \u0917\u0941\u0928\u093e\u0939 \u0939\u0948?” (Translation: This video will shock you… See what is happening to the Hindu girl in Bangladesh… Is it a crime to be a minority in Muslim countries?)
