Firstly, this woman is not a teacher. She and a few men were accused and caught by the public for alleged prostitution and women/drug trafficking. Their religious identity is unclear, but propaganda handles are portraying this woman as a teacher and a Hindu, communalizing this incident when it has nothing to do with religion.

An article by Indian writer Riya Chakraborty mentions that there is a misunderstanding among the Indian Hindu community regarding what Bangladeshi Hindus want for Bangladesh and how they envision the country.
In the influential newspaper *The Indian Express*, Riya Chakraborty, a resident of West Bengal, attempts to shed light on the stance of Bangladeshi Hindus.
She writes that on August 5th, when Sheikh Hasina was forced to resign, two thoughts crossed her mind. First, she felt happy about the success of the student movement. Second, she feared that Hindus in Bangladesh might face persecution.
At that time, she started receiving reports that after Sheikh Hasina fled, attacks on Hindus were occurring in Bangladesh.
However, in reality, Bangladeshis began guarding Hindu temples, Christian churches, and other minority places of worship. This was reminiscent of how people stood shoulder to shoulder in 1971 during the liberation of Bangladesh. Once again, they were working together in the same spirit.
What Were Indian Hindus Doing?
The author notes that after Hasina's downfall, Indian Hindus did not even take the time to listen to what Bangladeshi Hindus were doing or saying. Some Indian Hindus even started claiming that only Hasina could guarantee the survival of Hindus in Bangladesh. Some went further, arguing that Bangladesh needs an authoritarian leader like Hasina.
In reality, however, the revolution against tyranny in Bangladesh saw hundreds of Hindus join and many sacrificing their lives. This was similar to their participation in the Language Movement, the Six-Point Movement, the 1971 War of Independence, and the fight for secular democracy.
Despite this, Indian and diaspora Hindus continued to speak of saving Bangladeshi Hindus from genocide. Some extremists even used AI to create fake images of dead Hindus, demanding global Hindu intervention.
She also writes that there is no real presence of extremist Hindus in the Bengali community; they are detached from reality. Yet, they continue to portray Sheikh Hasina as the only savior against the so-called genocide of Bangladeshi Hindus.
Additionally, many on Twitter compared Bangladesh's interim government leader, Dr. Muhammad Yunus, to Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi, despite the fact that Suu Kyi allied with the military to oppress minorities, whereas Dr. Yunus stands firmly against minority persecution.
The author calls on Indian Hindus to learn about the actual situation facing Hindus in Bangladesh and speak up accordingly. She argues that false and misleading information is distancing the truth of what Bangladeshi Hindus truly want and is weakening them further. The misinformation spread by Indian Hindus is being dismissed as foreign propaganda.
She further urges Indian Hindus to listen to the structural changes that Bangladeshi Hindus are demanding from the Bangladeshi government.
In conclusion, she emphasizes that Bangladeshi Hindus are not helpless. They are not asking for any foreign power to save them. They do not want another authoritarian regime like Hasina’s to govern Bangladesh, and they certainly do not wish to leave their homeland.
What Bangladeshi Hindus truly need is an inclusive, secular, and democratic Bangladesh where everyone’s rights are respected.

According to Himanta Biswa Sarma, the Chief Minister of Assam, India, no Hindus from Bangladesh have entered India. The Chief Minister stated in Silchar that "in the past month, we have not been able to identify a single Hindu who has crossed the border; however, last month we arrested 35 Muslim infiltrators. Recently, we apprehended two individuals from Karimganj and sent them back to Bangladesh."
He further mentioned that there are no records of Hindus entering Assam from Bangladesh. Himanta Biswa Sarma claimed, "Hindus from Bangladesh are only requesting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to pressure the Bangladesh government to ensure their safety."
Earlier, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Chief Minister stated that the Assam Police had detained two Bangladeshi nationals at the Badarpur railway station. In his post, he mentioned, "Two Bangladeshi nationals have been apprehended at Badarpur railway station. They are Masum Khan and Sonia Akhtar from the Modelganj police precinct in Bangladesh. They reportedly entered India via the Madhupur (BD)-Agartala route and were heading to Bengaluru. With the help of the BSF, the Assam Police have sent them back across the border."
