The foreign ministry today summoned Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Pranay Verma to convey Dhaka`s grave concern over recent security incidents targeting Bangladesh`s diplomatic and consular premises in India.
The ministry raised the issue of regrettable incidents outside the perimeter of the Bangladesh High Commission and the residence in New Delhi on December 20, 2025, as well as vandalism at the Bangladesh Visa Centre in Siliguri on December 22 by extremist elements.
"Bangladesh also expressed deep concern over violent protests staged outside the premises of the different Diplomatic Missions of Bangladesh in India," said the foreign ministry in a statement here.
It said Bangladesh condemns such acts of premeditated violence or intimidation against diplomatic establishments, which not only endanger the safety of diplomatic personnel but also undermine the principles of mutual respect and values of peace and tolerance.
The Bangladesh government called upon the Indian government to conduct a thorough investigation into the incidents, to take all necessary measures to prevent the recurrence of such acts and to ensure safety and security of Bangladesh`s diplomatic missions and related facilities in India.
Bangladesh expected that Indian government will immediately take appropriate steps in accordance with its international and diplomatic obligations to safeguard the dignity and security of diplomatic personnel and establishments.
