- India has taken up with Bangladeshi authorities the death threat to a priest of the Ramakrishna Mission in Dhaka by suspected militants claiming to be from ISIS, even as security at the complex has been beefed up.
- The Ramakrishna Mission received a threat letter on Wednesday which said the priest will be killed if he continues to preach his religion, amid a string of targeted murders across the country by suspected militants.
- External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said on Friday that the Indian High Commission has taken up the issue with Bangladesh’s Foreign Ministry and police and added that police presence at the complex has been strengthened.
