Actor Janhvi Kapoor took to social media on Thursday to condemn the lynching of a Hindu man in Bangladesh. Calling it a barbaric act, Janhvi wrote on her Instagram stories, “It is slaughter and it is not an isolated incident. If you don't know about his inhumane public lynching, read about it, see the videos, ask the questions.”

The actor also hinted that selective outrage shouldn’t be the norm while stating that any form of extremism should be condemned. “And if despite all of this you feel no rage, then it is exactly this kind of hypocrisy that will destroy us before we know it. We will continue to cry about things half way across the globe while our own brothers and sisters are burnt to death. Extremism in any and every form needs to be called out and condemned before we forget our humanity,” she added.

As per a PTI report, Dipu Chandra Das, a Hindu garment factory worker, was beaten and set on fire by a mob in Bhaluka, Mymensingh, on Thursday night over alleged blasphemy. His body was reportedly tied to a tree and burned. The 25-year-old man was employed at the Pioneer Knit Composite Factory in the Square Masterbari area of Mymensingh, according to a report by NDTV. At least 12 people have been arrested for their alleged involvement in the murder.

On the work front, Janhvi was last seen in Homebound, which is India’s official entry to the Oscars.
