Pirojpur, Bangladesh — A Hindu family in Bhandaria upazila of Pirojpur has reportedly faced an attack and an alleged attempt to take control of their home and land, according to a rights-monitoring report published in August 2026.
The family reportedly said that individuals attempted to enter their property and take possession of the land. An altercation followed, during which members of the family were allegedly assaulted and their property was reportedly damaged.
The incident has left the family concerned about their safety and their ability to remain on their land. The allegations have also raised concerns over the protection of minority families involved in property disputes.
However, the claims come from a civil-society monitoring organisation and have not been independently verified. The identities and motives of those allegedly involved, as well as the legal status of the disputed property, would need to be established through an official investigation.
Authorities are expected to examine the allegations and determine whether any criminal offence took place.
For the family, the dispute is not simply about a piece of land—it involves their home, property and sense of security. Further investigation will be necessary to establish what happened and whether those responsible can be held accountable.
