A communal force carried out the brutal attack at Harkali Thakurpara village of Rangpur to harm relation with neighboring India, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader said today.

A Rangpur court yesterday granted another four-day remand for Titu Chandra Roy in a case filed over “demeaning Islam” in a Facebook post.

The youth arrested over a religiously demeaning Facebook post that stirred mayhem in Rangpur was living elsewhere for the last few years, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan says.

A Rangpur court yesterday granted four-day remand for Titu Chandra Roy in connection with a case over demeaning Islam through a Facebook post.

A man arrested yesterday has been remanded for allegedly publishing a demeaning Facebook post which sparked the mayhem in Rangpur last week.

Tito Chandra Roy, an accused in a case filed for allegedly making a post on Facebook that sparked mayhem in Thakurpara village of Rangpur, is arrested in Jaldhaka upazila of Nilphamari district.

Scared, the Hindus of Thakurpara in Gangachara of Rangpur are staying put.

The Friday's attack on the Hindu community in the district's Gangachara upazila was carried out as per a plan after days of campaign over a Facebook post, but the local authorities failed to prevent it as they didn't take the matter seriously, alleged victims and villagers.
