On Friday (March 15) evening, just before Iftar, the attack took place at ‘Tinbai Restaurant’ in front of gate number one of Osmani Hospital. Raju, who was injured in the attack, was admitted to Osmani Hospital. Witnesses said the fanatic Muslim assailants hit him on the head with sharp weapons, causing profuse bleeding. Sources said, 18 stitches had to be given to the head of Raju.
A friend of Raju who was engaged in the restaurant told HENB, considering the Hindu patients and their relatives who came to the hospital, Raju kept the restaurant open even during the day in the month of Ramadan. However, to avoid any inconvenience to the Muslims doing Roza, they used to sell food to Hindu customers only by covering it with a curtain.
On the behalf of the victim it is complained that some Muslim people of the locality came to the restaurant two days ago to keep it open during the day and harassed him and demanded money. But he did not agree to pay the subscription. Then on Friday evening they came back to the restaurant. At that time Raju was selling some iftar food items.
When the frenzy Muslim mob came, they said that iftar items cannot be sold in Hindu hotels. When I objected to their words, there was an argument. At one stage they attacked the Restaurant owner and his employees. The mob vandalized the Hindu restaurant with lethal weapons. When Raju tried to stop them, they beat him and the restaurant employees.
The attack was carried out under the leadership of a local named Sohel Hasan, a person connected with Tableeg e Jamat, as reported. An injured Raju said, “They broke my cash box and took money.”
In this regard, Kotwali Model Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Mohammad Mainuddin Shipon said that the police visited the scene after receiving information about the attack. However, it is not known what caused the incident. “The restaurant authorities have not filed any complaint so far”, Shipon added.
The condition of Raju is now stable. Such, Islamist upsurge during Ramadan in Bangladesh has been condemned by various rights organisations in the country.
Bangladesh is shaping fast as a Sharia State depriving the religious rights of the minorities in the Constitutionally ‘Islamic State’.
Attack on Hindus and other religious minorities is a routine work to frighten them from driving out from Bangladesh. The Administration, Police. Judiciary, Political parties…. all are reluctant to protect the minority rights in Islamic Bangladesh, even under shocking persecution on them.
Muslims are the most intolerant creature against peaceful co-existence.
