India on Friday strongly condemned the killing of a Hindu youth in Bangladesh, expressing deep concern over continuing violence against minorities in the neighbouring country and urging authorities in Dhaka to ensure accountability and justice.

Protests against the alleged killing of Hindu youths and attacks on minority Hindus in Bangladesh intensified on Friday as several Hindu organisations held a rally outside the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Kolkata. The demonstration was joined by Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, along with nearly 1,000 sadhus and saints.
