A statement by the interim government said Amrit Mondal had arrived in the area allegedly to extort money and “lost his life during a clash with an angry local crowd”

Days after 25-year-old Dipu Chandra Das was lynched on charges of blasphemy in Bangladesh’s Mymensingh, another young man from the Hindu minori.
