“We have had a rice business for a long time. No one had any problems with us. The criminals stole several hundred thousand taka from the store after they brutally killed my father,” said Sujan Sarkar, the victim’s son. He called for the quick identification and punishment of his father’s killers. Sarkar’s murder marks another incident of violence against the minority community.
