What was claimed

  • A Hindu mother, daughter, and son were murdered in Chattogram as part of an ongoing anti-Hindu pogrom in Bangladesh, where Islamists are systematically targeting Hindu families and extorting them through a form of “jizya.”

Our findings

  • Police found no evidence linking the attack to religious persecution, Islamist violence, or an anti-Hindu campaign.

  • Investigators arrested a relative of the victims and said the incident stemmed from a financial dispute.
