Nityaranjan Pandey, 60, a volunteer at Sree Sree Thakur
Anukulchandra Satsang ashram, was hacked to death June 10, the latest in a
spate of such killings in the country.
"Amaq News Agency reported that ISIS fighters in Bangladesh killed a Hindu man in Pabna, in the north of the country,"
the Daily Star quoted the tweet of SITE intelligence.
This was reported in US-based SITE
Intelligence Group, in its latest report.
The Islamic State (IS)
has claimed responsibility for the killing of a volunteer of a Hindu temple in
Bangladesh's Pabna Sadar upazila.
Nityaranjan was killed around 5:00 a.m. on Frinday, when he
was taking his morning walk about half a kilometre away from the ashram, a few
yards off the Hemayetpur Mental Hospital, according to police, locals and
ashram officials.
Police said unidentified assailants attacked NityaRanjan
around 5:00 a.m. local time, while he was walking a few yards off the
Hemayetpur Mental Hospital.
At least eight people have become victims of such killings
since May 1. They include a Christian grocer, a Hindu priest and the wife of a
police superintendent hailed for successful anti-militancy drives.
Militants have killed more than 30 people in Bangladesh,
including members of religious minorities, liberal bloggers and academics,
since February last year.
