City Budhhist temple chief gets death threat
The chief of Dharmarajika Buddhist Monastery at Kamalapur in the city has received a threat to his life.
A man handed over a letter to the monastery around 11:45am, said an employee there.
The letter did not name anyone but mentioned the chief principal as the recipient.
A part of the letter reads, “You preach wearing saffron dresses. You are the enemy of Islam. We are around you. Stop preaching your religion. Change, otherwise you will be stabbed and shot to death within a month.”
The monastery employee said the letter mentioned one AB Siddique as the sender.
Earlier in this month, the head Hindu priest of Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission in the capital received a similar threat in a letter.
The letter also mentioned AB Siddique as the sender. However, police later found that the name and his address were fake.
Abdul Quddus Fakir, officer-in-charge of Sabujbagh Police Station, said a general diary was filed with his police station in connection with the threat issued to the monastery in Kamalapur.
Security was beefed in and around the monastery, he said, adding that they were investigating the matter.
