Concerns about the safety of Hindu minorities in Bangladesh continue to grow. Another Hindu youth was beaten to death in the Daganbhua area of Feni district. The deceased has been identified as 28-year-old Samir Das, who supported his family by driving a battery-operated auto-rickshaw. This incident is reported to be the eighth murder against the Hindu community in the past 25 days.
According to police, the attackers first brutally beat Samir Das and then killed him with the intention of robbing his auto-rickshaw. After the incident, the accused fled the scene with the auto-rickshaw. Police say robbery may be the primary motive for the murder, although other angles are also being investigated.

Trump stated in a social media post that the tariffs imposed on Iran's trading partners will take effect immediately. This decision could affect several major countries trading with Iran, including China, Brazil, Turkey, and Russia.
