The brutal killing of a Hindu man in Bangladesh has triggered outrage across borders. Indian film stars have now joined the call for justice. Actor Kajal Aggarwal and Janhvi Kapoor publicly condemned the incident and urged people not to stay silent.
The killing has once again raised serious concerns over the safety of Hindu minorities in Bangladesh.
Kajal Aggarwal Urges Hindus to Speak Up
Kajal Aggarwal shared a strong message on her Instagram story. She reposted a poster that showed a man’s body set on fire. The image referred to viral videos linked to the lynching of Dipu Chandra Das in Bangladesh.
The poster read, “All eyes on Bangladesh Hindus”. It also carried a sharp message, “Wake up Hindus! Silence won’t save you.”
Her post quickly spread online and added momentum to the growing outrage.
Janhvi Kapoor Calls the Killing ‘Barbaric’
Actor Janhvi Kapoor also reacted strongly. She described the incident as horrific and urged people to confront the violence instead of ignoring it.
She wrote, “What is happening in Bangladesh is barbaric. It is slaughter and it is not an isolated incident. If you don’t know about his inhumane public lynching, read about it, see the videos, ask the questions. And if despite all of this you feel no rage, then it is exactly this kind of hypocrisy that will destroy us before we know it.”
Janhvi stressed that silence allows such violence to continue.
‘Extremism Must Be Condemned,’ Says Janhvi
The actor further added, “We will continue to cry about things half way across the globe while our own brothers and sisters are burnt to death. Extremism in any and every form needs to be called out and condemned before we forget our humanity.”
Her remarks resonated widely on social media and drew support from many users.
Who Was Dipu Chandra Das
Dipu Chandra Das was a Hindu garment factory worker in his 20s. A mob lynched him in public in Bangladesh’s Mymensingh region. Reports said the attack followed allegations of blasphemy.
Videos of the incident circulated online and shocked viewers across India and beyond.
Protests Erupt in India
The killing led to large protests in India. Several Hindu organisations staged demonstrations outside the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi. Protesters demanded justice and stronger protection for minorities.
The incident has also strained India-Bangladesh relations. Diplomatic exchanges intensified after the protests.
Bangladesh Government Responds
Bangladesh’s chief adviser Muhammad Yunus condemned the killing and said there was no place for violence. Despite this, anger and fear remain strong among Hindus in India.
Many continue to voice concern over repeated attacks on minority communities in neighbouring countries.
Why This Case Matters
The killing of Dipu Chandra Das has become more than a single crime. It has turned into a symbol of rising fears around religious violence, mob justice, and minority safety.
With celebrities adding their voices, the issue has now gained global attention.
