Heavy security was deployed near the Bangladesh High Commission to monitor and control the situation as people were out on the streets protesting against the mob lynching in Bangladesh
The protestors in Delhi demanded accountability from Bangladeshi authorities, with some calling for justice and protection of minorities in the neighbouring countries
People on the streets broke through police barricades but were stopped by multi-layered security cordons comprising police and paramilitary staff
Tensions rose when a massive crowd of demonstrators pushed the security barricades. Protestors were chanting "Bharat Mata Ki Jai", "Yunus Sarkar Hosh me Aao", and "Hindu Hatiya Band Karo"
Furthermore, the members of the Sarbo Bharatiya Hindi Bangali Sangathan, VHP, and Bajrang Dal participated in a protest near the Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus Metro Station, raising slogans about Bangladesh's Hindus and their security
The purpose of this protest is to push for action against the tragic mob lynching and killing of Dipu Chandra Das on December 18 over an alleged claim of blasphemy
Several protests are staged against the violence against minorities in Bangladesh across India
West Bengal Congress leader Ashutosh Chatterjee said the External Affairs Minister should address the issue. On the contrary, Bangladesh has suspended consular and visa services in New Delhi and Agartala due to security concerns following protests
