India has erupted in protest against Bangladesh following a wave of violence that has raised serious concerns over minority safety and regional stability. The unrest was triggered by the killing of student leader Sharif Osman Hadi, a key figure in last year’s anti-Sheikh Hasina uprising, and escalated after a Hindu garment worker, Dipu Chandra Das, was lynched and set on fire over unproven blasphemy allegations. The killing sparked massive demonstrations outside the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi, where security was dramatically tightened with multiple barricades and deployments of police and paramilitary forces.
