A video of a woman being made to do sit-ups while holding her ears is viral on social media with the claim that she is a Bangladeshi Hindu woman named Jyotika Basu Chatterjee, who used to run a humanitarian organisation that provided education and health care.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh has been in a state of crisis since August 5 when former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was ousted following a month-long nationwide student protest that resulted in the deaths of hundreds. Since then, there have been numerous reports<\/a> of attacks on minority Hindus in various parts of the country. This particular video has gone viral in this context.<\/p>\n

On August 8, an interim government<\/a> was formed in Bangladesh with 84-year-old Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus sworn in as its chief advisor. The newly formed government assured<\/a> on August 11 that they were working to stop incidents of attacks on minorities<\/p>\n
