The attacks seem pre-planned.<\/p>\n<p>This locality is known as Hindu majority areas.<\/p>\n<p>The attack was carried out following a rumour that Rajib Saha, a class-X student and son of a local Hindu businessman Bablu Saha, had posted derogatory comments against the Prophet (SM) on the social networking site facebook. The said rumor has spread around the locality. In retaliation a large number of local people led by the miscreants gathered and staged violent demonstrations against the Hindu community at around 12.30 pm. They started to vandalise homes, properties, and business establishments of the Hindu community.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/DSC005081.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2691\" alt=\"DSC00508\" src=\"http:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/DSC005081-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/DSC005081-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/DSC005081-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/DSC005081-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/DSC005081-160x120.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>During the fact finding, ASK team interviewed several witnesses and victims of the violence.<\/i><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 500px;\" src=\"http:\/\/docs.google.com\/gview?url=http:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/ASK-Investigation-Attack-on-Minorities-in-Pabna-November-2013.pdf&amp;embedded=true\" height=\"240\" width=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><a href=\"http:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/ASK-Investigation-Attack-on-Minorities-in-Pabna-November-2013.pdf\">ASK Investigation &#8211; Attack on Minorities in Pabna &#8211; November 2013<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 500px;\" src=\"http:\/\/docs.google.com\/gview?url=http:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Investigation-Report-Bengali-Pabna-November1.pdf&amp;embedded=true\" height=\"240\" width=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><a href=\"http:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Investigation-Report-Bengali-Pabna-November1.pdf\">Investigation Report Attack on Minorities -Pabna-November<\/a>\u00a02014<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/DSC00509.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2690\" alt=\"DSC00509\" src=\"http:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/DSC00509-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/DSC00509-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/DSC00509-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/DSC00509-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/DSC00509-160x120.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>See Full ASK Fact Finding Report and Action Below in [English] and [Bengali]\u00a0 Incident On 2 November 2013, a group of miscreants brutally attacked, vandalised, torched and looted houses, business&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2691,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156,111,157],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fact-finding-reports","category-investigation-unit","category-minority-violence"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2687","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2687"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2687\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2695,"href":"https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2687\/revisions\/2695"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
