In October, an ISKCON temple in Noakhali was vandalized and one person died. Three more were killed over allegations of a Quran desecrated at a Durga Puja pavilion in Bangladesh.

As more reports of such vandalism and attacks came in, India had said it was in very close contact with the authorities in Dhaka and at local levels and that Bangladesh had reacted promptly to ensure control including the deployment of the law enforcement machinery.
