Stones were thrown at the Assistant High Commission of India in Chittagong as protests over the killing of anti-India activist Sharif Osman Hadi escalated, police and local media said.
Videos shared on social media showed groups throwing stones near the diplomatic office and the official residence, with smoke seen in the area. Police said incidents of arson were also reported, prompting a heavy security deployment to prevent further damage.
The violence followed the announcement of Hadi’s death, after which mobs vandalised and set fire to the offices of newspapers Prothom Alo and The Daily Star, as well as Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s house at Dhanmondi 32 and the Chhayanaut Sanskriti Bhaban overnight. Attacks were also reported in parts of Chittagong, Rajshahi and several other areas.

An India Today Global on-ground report from the Israel-Lebanon border reveals a highly volatile situation as military forces intensify strikes against targets in southern Lebanon. The Israeli Prime Minister has firmly stated that military operations will not cease, reflecting the ongoing escalation. Border regions in northern Israel remain largely abandoned, with residents forced to evacuate or take refuge in reinforced concrete shelters due to the persistent threat of rocket fire from neighbouring territories. The military asserts that these operations are necessary to secure the region and allow displaced citizens to return home safely. Over the past forty days, forces claim to have eliminated approximately 1,400 fighters and targeted 4,300 hideouts, including 150 individuals in the last twenty-four hours alone. Consequently, prospects for a ceasefire remain jeopardised. Israeli authorities refuse to halt operations unless opposing forces are disarmed, while Iranian officials insist on a comprehensive cessation of hostilities. The report underscores the severe ground reality, highlighting the widespread devastation and the profound impact on civilian life.
