The situation in Bangladesh has not been good for some time, especially for the Hindu community. On the occasion of Navratri, the new interim government of Bangladesh has assured security to the Hindus, but meanwhile a shocking news has come. The crown of the goddess has been stolen from a temple in Bangladesh. The special thing is that this crown was gifted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Bangladesh in the year 2021. Let us know about this incident in detail and understand what is the punishment for theft in Bangladesh.
Theft in the temple caused commotion
Security of temples has always been a big issue in Bangladesh. In this recent incident, the crown of the goddess was stolen, which is considered a symbol of religious faith. This theft has hurt the devotees of the temple and created panic in the area. Police are investigating the matter, but the local people are very upset and worried about this incident.
Punishment for theft in Bangladesh
Strict laws are applicable on theft cases in Bangladesh. The punishment for theft depends on where and how the theft took place. If the theft takes place at a normal place, the accused may get a light punishment, but if the theft is committed from a religious place, then it is considered a serious crime. Theft from religious places is considered a crime promoting communal tension in Bangladesh, and if found guilty in such cases, severe punishment is given. In cases of theft related to religious beliefs, the accused can get long jail sentences. Whereas, in India, usually a punishment of up to three years is given for theft, but in Bangladesh the punishment in such cases can be even harsher.
