According to an ANI news agency report, another man, a 37-year-old male named Azharul, has been arrested "for vandalising Hindu idols in the Shakuair area."
<h2>Concerns for minorities in Bangladesh</h2>
These vandalism attacks are part of a broader pattern of violence targeting Hindus in Bangladesh.
