Yes, there has been acts of violence against hindu minorities recently, done by extremists who want to create religious divide and unrest amongst the citizens fuelled by their own personal motives. Nevertheless, rumours are wildly exaggerated to portray hindu brutality.
Fake Tweets Alert!
Countless rumors and fake tweets are flooding X (former Twitter), directly inciting against the sovereignty and independence of Bangladesh. Following the coordinators' announcement, every area is forming 'Communal Harmony and National Asset Protection Committees' to safeguard religious sites and public properties. We urge the minority community to post verified information about their localities on social media. Do not fall for provocations without checking; counter misinformation. #ProtectMinorities #ProtectAllFaiths #SafeBangladesh #NationalUnity #CommunalHarmony #HindusAreSafeInBangladesh

Yes, acts of religious violence are a real thing and have been for a long time. It has always been caused by extremists blinded by some personal motif.
However, now is the time for change. Time to build a new Bangladesh TOGETHER. Time for Unity.
I'm a Hindu living in Bangladesh, and no i don't feel threatened in this country.
I have friends from every religion in Bangladesh and I know they are here for me and i can count on them.
