A group of extremists have once again attempted to demolish a Hindu temple, further inflaming communal tensions.

The incident took place in Bangladesh and the video went viral on December 2.

Visuals show a mob aggressively dismantling the temple, breaking its walls and destroying its infrastructure using bricks, sticks, and wooden logs. The attackers appeared determined to deconstruct the temple completely.

According to reports, unrest in Bangladesh has escalated following the arrest of Hindu priest Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari by Dhaka police. Allegedly, mobs have been targeting Hindu temples in Chattogram amid the tensions. The arrest of the former ISKCON leader has sparked protests across the country, with the Hindu community demanding his release and justice for those persecuted following the removal of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

At least three temples, including the Lokanath Temple in Firangi Bazar, Mansa Mata Temple, and Kali Mata Temple in Hazari Lane, have reportedly been targeted in Chattogram.
