Mumbai

Activists of Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Tuesday demonstrated outside the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Mumbai against the lynching of a Hindu man in that country.

A similar protest was staged outside the Mumbai civic body headquarters, police said.

Holding saffron flags and 'save Hindus' placards, around 50 activists of the right-wing bodies gathered outside the Bangladesh deputy high commission in Cuffe Parade and shouted slogans.

Police personnel shifted the protesters to Azad Maidan in south Mumbai, an official said.

A simultaneous demonstration was held outside the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) building by more than 100 activists.

Raising 'Jai Shriram' slogans, they sat on a road between the BMC building and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus railway station, and tried to block traffic.
