Hindutva Extremists Use Fake News to Justify Violence Against Bengali Muslims

A fake news narrative of Hindus being attacked in Bangladesh is being spread by Hindutva groups. In response, these groups have attacked Bengali-speaking Muslims in Uttar Pradesh, burning homes and using violence. Led by Pinky Chowdhury, the Hindu Protection Group justifies these attacks as revenge. An eyewitness reported violence against Muslims, with threats even directed at Hindus who try to protect them.
