Within a week, two youths were jailed for insulting Islam in the same district as well as the police station (20 km away). A fishmonger named Mihir Mondal (35) was arrested by the police for insulting Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in Paikgacha of Khulna district.

It is reported that Mihir Mondal (35) and his cousin Jagannath Mondal got into a verbal argument about Islam and Hinduism in front of Tahidur Rahman Roni, another fish merchant, while buying fish at Paikgacha Matsya Artattari Cooperative Society at around 12 noon today, July 27. Tahidur Rahman claims that he insulted Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH).

When the matter spread in the middle of the day and surrounding areas, the Muslim community including businessmen erupted into public protests, and the authorities of the Artadari Association detained Mihir in the office of the association. Jagannath Mandal fled.

Later, Upazila Nirbahi Officer Mumtaz Begum, Senior Assistant Superintendent of Police Saiful Islam and OC Rafiqul Islam went to the spot and arrested Mihir.

In this incident, the businessman Roni has filed a case with the detained Mihir and fugitive Jagannath. Of which No-34, Tang-27/07/2023 Eng. Police OC Rafiqul Islam said that detained Mihir has been sent to court seeking remand.

On the other hand, 3 days ago, Joy Roy was jailed for insulting Islam at Thana Dakope near Paikgacha. According to Joy, two of his Muslim friends invited his to convert to Islam. Joy does not accept that. Then friends say I will see you. Then Joy’s Facebook account was cloned and a picture of a pig on the Kaaba house was posted with that ID. Joy studied Honors in Khulna BL College. Within 1 hour of this incident, Jai surrendered with his mobile at the office of the Superintendent of Police and said that he had not done such a thing. Joy and her father were then arrested.

Locals who did not want to reveal their names said that at present in Khulna district there is no other district where attacks and vandalism are taking place. Just 6 months ago, Vishnu Dhali of Dakop police station posted a defaced photo of the Kaaba on Facebook, was attacked and vandalized. Although Vishnu survived, his wife, 7-year-old daughter, widowed mother were not spared from the attack. There are many such cases. Based on rumours, Vishnu-Jay-Mihir went to jail. It took ages to prove that they were innocent.

It is to be noted that till today in Bangladesh, Hindus are in jail in all the cases of insulting Islam, but not a single case has been proved that they have done the work. But those who make these distorted pictures, post-share-virally for the sake of Islam, walk safely in public.
