Sharing his experience with the Free Press Journal, Ghosh, 21, said, "On Nov 23, I went to Dhaka to meet a friend and also had some work. When I went, it was peaceful. I was supposed to return to India on Nov 26 when I was attacked. My friend and I were near an ice-cream shop when 5-6 people gheraoed me and asked me about my identity. When I said I am a Hindu from India, they attacked me on my face with a knife and pelted stones."
He added his friend and his family were threatened for giving shelter and protecting "a Hindu from India".
