The public lynching of another Hindu, Amrit Mandal, in Bangladesh has shocked the conscience of people in both India and Bangladesh. 29-year-old Amrit Mandal was beaten to death by a jihadist mob in Rajbari district. While police claimed that Mandal was an extortionist and he died in a rival clash, the videos belie the claim. Earlier, a Hindu, Dipu Chandra Das was lynched by a jihadist mob in Mymensingh. Dipu was not only lynched but was later hanged from a tree and his body was set on fire. Video of his brutal murder has caused consternation in world capitals.
