A Hindu temple&nbsp;was vandalised and three idols of deities were found desecrated in Bangladesh on Sunday.

The attack comes barely a month after over a dozen temples were attacked following a blasphemous Facebook post put up by a Hindu man.

The remnants of broken idols of Hindu god&nbsp;Shiva and goddess Kali were found lying about 600 metres from the temple in Bangladesh&#39;s northern Netrokona area, Bangladeshi newspaper Dhaka Tribune reported.

Police have found that the door of the temple was not locked at night. They have launched a manhunt,&nbsp;said&nbsp;officer-in-charge&nbsp;Shahnur-e-Alam.

&quot;We are treating the case with priority. A group with vested interests may have carried out the crime to disrupt communal harmony,&quot;&nbsp;Netrokona Superintendent of Police Joydeb Chowdhury said.

Meanwhile, Badal Ghosh, secretary of the temple committee, demanded immediate arrest of the attackers.

In the last week of October, there were attacks on around 15 temples and 20 houses belonging to Hindus in Brahmanbaria area after a fisherman put up a Facebook post mocking one of Islam&#39;s holiest sites -- the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

The fisherman had put an edited photo of a&nbsp;Hindu deity inside the Kaaba.

Bangladesh police had arrested a cuber cafe owner for organising the attacks.

The attack comes weeks after 15 temples were desecrated by a mob in reaction to a blasphemous photo put up by a Hindu man on Facebook

A Hindu temple was vandalised and three idols of deities were found desecrated in Bangladesh on Sunday. The attack comes barely a month after over a dozen temples were attacked following a blasphemous Facebook post put up by a Hindu man.

Bangladesh: Hindu temple vandalised, idols desecrated

Houses belonging to Hindus were set ablaze in Bangladesh early Friday morning, a few days after at least 15 temples were vandalised by a mob following an insulting photo posted on Facebook by a Hindu fisherman.

The houses were set on fire in two villages near Chittagong, roughly 270 kilometres from Dhaka, Bangladesh police said.&nbsp;

&ldquo;The attackers fled after torching seven houses in four Hindu households. Locals put out the flames,&rdquo; said Additional Superintendent of Police (SP) Md Iqbal Hossain, local online news agency bdnews24 reported.

On Friday, a group of people torched a Jagannath temple and a nearby Durga temple belonging to Sagar Das. (Jagannath and Durga are Hindu deities.)

The latest attacks on Hindus come after a local Hindu fisherman allegedly posted an edited photograph of a Hindu deity inside the Kaaba, in Saudi Arabia&#39;s Mecca, on social media.

District police chief Mizanur Rahman told AFP two Islamic groups had been demonstrating to demand the arrest and execution of the fisherman, when a group of between 100 and 150 men broke away and vandalised the temples on October 30.&nbsp;&nbsp;
