Protests, clashes erupt in front of Bangladesh High Commission in Delhi

A major protest has erupted outside the Bangladesh High Commission in India's New Delhi in the wake of the killing of Dipu Chandra Das in Mymensingh. The demonstrations are being led by Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal, NDTV reports. 

Delhi Police has stepped up security outside the High Commission in view of the protest. Despite heavy security deployment, several protesters pushed through barriers to inch towards the diplomatic establishment. As per reports, protestors managed to break at least two layers of barricades.

Security agencies had already been on alert in anticipation of the protest and had put in place tight security arrangements outside the building to prevent any untoward incident. The area has been secured with three layers of barricading, with troops from the police and paramilitary deployed to control the crowd, NDTV added. 

Earlier in the day, Bangladesh expressed concern over attacks on its diplomatic missions in India, summoning the Indian High Commissioner to protest incidents in New Delhi and Siliguri.

The Bangladesh Foreign Ministry, in a statement, said, "Bangladesh condemns such acts of premeditated violence or intimidation against diplomatic establishments, which not only endanger the safety of diplomatic personnel but also undermine the principles of mutual respect and values of peace and tolerance."

It also condemned the violence, citing threats to diplomatic personnel and establishments, and urged India to ensure their safety and security.

“The Government of Bangladesh called upon the Government of India to conduct a thorough investigation into the incidents, to take all necessary measures to prevent the recurrence of such acts and to ensure the safety and security of Bangladesh's diplomatic missions and related facilities in India,” the statement said.

The incidents include vandalism at the Bangladesh Visa Centre in Siliguri on 22 December 2025 and a protest outside the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi on 20 December 2025.
