Tangail: April 30, 2016. (News Agencies) A Hindu tailor named Nikhil Chandra Joarder aged 50, resident of the Dubail village in Tangail district, was hacked to death on Saturday afternoon. In month of April 2016, it is third killing by hands of Islamists in Bangladesh on accusations of preaching moderate Islam which extremist Muslims term as defiling name of Prophet Mohammad. They hacked to death one professor then LGBT activist and now Hindu. Three young men riding a motorcycle had come to Nikhil’s shop around 12 PM and called him to a nearby road on which they hacked him. The killers left the spot promptly after the incident. Police officer Aslam Khan says authorities are investigating whether Saturday’s attack of Nikhil Joarder in the central district of Tangail is connected to a 2012 complaint that he had made comments against Prophet Muhammad. The attackers left a black bag at the spot, which contained three to four bomb-like objects, reports said. Asked about the possible motive behind the attack, it was revealed that a case was filed against Nikhil in 2012 for making a “derogatory” comment about the Prophet of Islam. He had been arrested for allegedly making the comments and then released.
