A Hindu man was yesterday hacked to death on the streets of Bangladesh by two men on motorcycles after he 'criticised the prophet Mohammed'.
It comes just a week after a university English professor was hacked to death by a gang of attackers while on his way to work in northwestern Bangladesh.
Nikhil Joarder, who was in his early 50s, was attacked with sharp weapons by two men on motorcycles as he sat in his tailor shop. ISIS has reportedly claimed credit for the brutal attack on Joarder.
Police officer Aslam Khan revealed authorities are investigating whether the attack is connected to a
2012 complaint that Joarder made comments against the prophet. Joarder spent two weeks in prison in 2012 and was released after the complaint against him was withdrawn.
The brutal attack in the central district of Tangail comes after a spate of similar attacks and recent killings of atheist bloggers, academics and most recently a gay rights activist in Muslim-majority Bangladesh by radical Islamists.
Last week, A.F.M. Rezaul Karim Siddique was attacked on his way to the state-run university in the city of Rajshahi, where he taught English. The attackers used sharp weapons and fled the scene immediately, according to deputy police commissioner Nahidul Islam. ISIS also claimed responsibility for the horrific attack.
