Den 60-årige Nityaranjan Pande, som havde arbejdet på et hindu-tempel hele sit liv, blev dræbt, da flere personer angreb ham fredag, rapporterer AFP.
Det er tydelig at hinduer nu er blevet jihadisternes nye mål. 8% af befolkningen i Bangladesh er hinduer.
A Hindu monastery worker has been hacked to death in Bangladesh, police said, the latest in a string of attacks on secular and minority targets.
Nityaranjan Pande, who was in his 60s, died on the spot after several people attacked him early on Friday, AFP news agency said citing police.
His murder comes after the body of a Hindu priest was found with his head nearly severed in a field on Tuesday.
Pande blev angrebet mens han var ude på morgenpromenaden sin. Han havde arbejdet i 40 år ved klosteret.
“He was a simple man. He had no enemies,” local NGO worker Naresh Madhu told local news agency bdnews24.
Bdnews24 said the attack happened very close to the monastery.
More than 40 people have been killed since January last year in a wave of attacks, including secular bloggers, academics and gay rights activists.
Jihadister angriber nu en stort og varieret gruppe af mennesker. Også en politimands hustru blev dræbt forrige weekend, selv om hun bar burka.
Der er noget modbydelig ved drabene i Bangladesh. Det skyldes, den måde ofrene bliver dræbt på: De hakkes ihjel med macheter. Folk foretrækker at lide en hel del, før de hacket til døden.
