Security was heightened across parts of the national capital on Tuesday as protesters gathered near the Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus Metro Station to demonstrate against the killing of a Hindu man in Bangladesh, prompting increased vigilance around the Bangladesh High Commission.
The protest, led by members of the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) and other Hindu organisations, was organised to condemn what the groups described as continued atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh, including the recent mob lynching of Dipu Chandra Das in the Mymensingh region.
Anticipating the demonstration, the Delhi Police deployed extensive security arrangements and enforced multiple layers of barricading to prevent protesters from approaching the Diplomatic Enclave. Officials said three tiers of barricades were erected along San Martín Marg, with additional police and paramilitary forces stationed at key points.
This is reportedly the last video of Dipu Chandra Das, who was killed in a mob attack in Bangladesh.

Authorities made it clear to the demonstrators that movement towards the Bangladesh High Commission or entry into the Diplomatic Enclave would not be permitted under any circumstances. Despite the restrictions, some protesters attempted to advance, breaching the first layer of barricades before being halted at the second. #WATCH | Kolkata, West Bengal: State LoP and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, along with other BJP leaders, marched to the Bangladesh High Commission in Kolkata to raise their voices against this brutality and the ongoing atrocities against Hindus. pic.twitter.com/xNzPDabrG5
To prevent further movement, police positioned a Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) bus across the road and issued repeated public announcements urging protesters to disperse peacefully and avoid any law and order situation.
During the protest, slogans such as “Yunus sarkar, hosh mein aao” were raised, along with religious chants, including recitations of the Hanuman Chalisa. An effigy was also set on fire as demonstrators expressed anger over the incident in Bangladesh.
VHP leaders and organisers were seen appealing to participants to maintain discipline and return to their designated protest area. Repeated calls were made to confine the demonstration to slogan-raising and peaceful expression, with an emphasis on maintaining public order.
Several protesters carried banners and placards condemning alleged attacks on Hindus and vandalism of religious sites in Bangladesh.
Police officials said the situation remained under control, with no major untoward incidents reported at the time of filing this report.
The protest comes amid heightened regional tensions and growing international concern over the safety of minorities in Bangladesh, with Indian authorities closely monitoring developments on both diplomatic and security fronts.
