Hundreds gather to protest outside Bangladesh Deputy High Commissions in Mumbai, Kolkata

Massive protests were seen outside the Bangladesh High Commission in Delhi on Tuesday afternoon, days after a Hindu man was killed in Mymensingh. Later the same day, protests also broke out in front of the Bangladesh Deputy High Commissions in Mumbai and Kolkata. 

Hindu groups, including the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), took part in the protests in the wake of the killing of Dipu Chandra Das in Mymensingh, Hindustan Times reports. 

Kolkata Police reportedly dispersed a crowd of Hindu activists heading towards the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission with baton charge. The protesters breached barricades, both human and iron guard rails, in their attempts to move closer to the Deputy High Commission office at Beckbagan, reported news agency PTI.

Several members of the VHP were detained in Mumbai amid protests. Before this, VHP were also reportedly detained in Delhi over the protests outside the Bangladesh High Commission.

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.
