According to reports, many people were injured when a mob vandalised and looted the ISKCON temple in Bangladesh's Dhaka.
More than 200 people allegedly attacked, vandalised and looted the ISKCON Radhakanta temple at 222 Lal Mohan Saha Street in Wari, Dhaka on Thursday.
According to reports, many people, including Sumantra Chandra Shravan, Nihar Haldar, Rajiv Bhadra, were injured in the attack.
The mob was reportedly led by Haji Shafiullah.
Last year, at least three people were killed after violence erupted after news spread on social media that the Quran was allegedly desecrated at a Durga Puja pandal near Nanuar Dighi lake in Comilla town, Bangladesh.
Previously, similar incidents were also reported from Tipu Sultan Road in Dhaka and Kotwali in Chittagong.

The world is facing an energy crisis as Iran blocked supplies passing through the Strait of Hormuz after strikes by the US and Israel. Vital subsea cables that carry global internet traffic also pass through Hormuz. Any damage to them could trigger internet outages and hit financial systems across countries, including in India.

Images of pre-Islamic Zoroastrian kings and warriors have been unveiled in Iran, evoking courage and resilience. Many say the Ayatollah regime in Iran revives the country's Persian identity during conflicts with Israel and the US. But this Persian heritage has always run deep, and is visible from time to time, in both dissent and unity.

The US-Israel war was meant to decapitate Iran's hardline leadership, but the killing of the "pragmatic" Ali Larijani might have done the opposite. By eliminating consensus-builder Larijani, the Israelis might have removed any scope of talks and pushed Iran into deeper hardline control. This could be a ploy to keep the war going.
