Demonstrations outside the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Kolkata turned violent on Tuesday (December 23, 2025) as protestors tried to breach barricades, and police used force to prevent them. Several people were injured in the police action, protesters claimed. This is the second day of protests at the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission office in Kolkata, over the lynching of Bangladeshi Hindu youth Dipu Das.
The protest march titled Hindu Hunkar Padayatra was organised under the banner of Bongiyo Hindu Jagaran. The march started from the Sealdah area of the city and proceeded towards the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission office in the Beckbagan area. A huge police force has been deployed near the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission office which tried to prevent the crowd which comprised youths and men draped in saffron from advancing. The protesters shouted Hindu Hindu Bhai Bhai, and “safety for Hindus in Bangladesh”.

Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, held a press conference and said that the police action against the protesters proved that there is no difference between Mamata Banerjee’s government and Mohammad Yunus’s government in Bangladesh.
