Mumbai: As situation in Bangladesh continues to be matter of concern in the wake of lynching of a Hindu youth, activists of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal staged a demonstration outside the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission at Cuffe Parade and a dharna off the headquarters of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), the headquarters of Central Railway.
On December 18, Dipu Chandra Das, a 25-year-old garment factory worker, was lynched by a mob and his body set on fire over blasphemy in Baluka in Mymensingh in Bangladesh.
Activists of VHP and Bajrang Dal on Tuesday demonstrated outside the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Mumbai holding saffron flags and ‘save Hindus’ placards.
After the protests, police personnel shifted the protesters to Azad Maidan in south Mumbai.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Pravin Mundhe reached the spot and requested the protesters to clear the road off BMC-CSMT.
