Rape of Hindu Woman in Comilla Sparks Outrage as Sexual Violence Becomes Common Under Yunus-Backed Government

Comilla, Bangladesh | June 2025 — A shocking video from Muradnagar in Comilla has exposed the brutal rape and public humiliation of a Hindu woman, once again highlighting the alarming surge in gender-based violence under the de facto rule of the Yunus-backed regime. The disturbing footage shows the victim being stripped naked and raped—an act that has sparked widespread outrage, especially among minority communities and human rights defenders.This latest atrocity is not an isolated incident. Under the current administration—supported politically and ideologically by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus—such brutalities have become distressingly frequent, drawing accusations of systemic failure and moral collapse. Despite international praise, Yunus’s influence over the transitional political landscape has coincided with a disturbing erosion of law and order, especially concerning the safety of women and minorities.According to a recent report by Bangladesh Mahila Parishad, 2024 saw: • 2,525 reported cases of violence against women and girls in the media, • 516 rape cases, including 367 child victims, • 142 incidents of gang rape, • 23 victims raped and murdered, and • Several others who died by suicide following rape.Rights groups say the real numbers are likely much higher, as countless victims remain silent due to fear, stigma, and lack of justice. The Hindu community, in particular, has raised concern over targeted violence and the impunity enjoyed by the perpetrators—many of whom are reportedly linked to influential local actors.“The Yunus regime, despite its international image, has failed to protect the most vulnerable,” said one activist. “Minority women are being violated in broad daylight while the state remains disturbingly silent.”Calls are growing louder for a UN-led investigation into the worsening human rights situation in Bangladesh. Analysts argue that the Nobel laureate’s behind-the-scenes political engineering has not only destabilized democratic institutions but also enabled an environment where such crimes go unpunished.As images from Comilla continue to circulate and spark public anger, the world watches closely. The question now is: Will Yunus speak up—or will silence continue to shield the perpetrators?
