Janhvi Kapoor Calls Bangladesh Lynching ‘Barbaric and Inhuman’

She wrote, “Dipu Chandra Das. What is happening in Bangladesh is barbaric. It is a slaughter and it is not an isolated incident. If you don't know about his inhumane public lynching, read about it, see the videos, ask the questions. And if despite all of this you feel no rage, then it is exactly this kind of hypocrisy that will destroy us before we know it. We will continue to cry about things half way across the globe while our own brothers and sisters are burnt to death”.

Bangladesh Lynching Sparks Outrage Over Mob Violence

The lynching of Dipu Chandra Das has drawn huge attention to the persistent problem of mob violence in the Indian subcontinent. He was killed by a violent mob in Bangladesh, his body was tied to a tree and set on fire after being lynched last week. Gut-wrenching videos, purportedly of the incident, have flooded social media. The incident sparked outrage among civil society groups and human rights activists, who condemned the act as a grave failure of law and order. Janhvi Kapoor Stuns in INR 3.09 Lakh Elie Saab Sequined Gown With Tropical Print; Actress Serves Glam While Continuing Her Strong Career Run (View Post)

Janhvi Kapoor Urges Stand Against Extremism

Police later registered a case and began investigating those involved, stressing that guilt must be determined by law, not by mobs. The case reignited debate on vigilantism, misinformation, and the urgent need for stronger action against lynching. She further mentioned, “Communal discrimination and extremism in any and every form, whether we are the victims or the perpetrators, needs to be called out and condemned before we forget our humanity”. “We are pawns that believe we reside on either side of an invisible line. Recognise this. And equip yourself with knowledge so u can take a stand for the innocent lives that are continuously lost and terrorised in this communal cross-fire”, she added.
