Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has voiced his shock and sorrow over a horrifying assault on a Hindu widow in Kaliganj, Bangladesh, expressing solidarity with the survivor and calling for justice. Dhawan took to X (formerly Twitter) to denounce the attack, calling the report “heartbreaking” and stating that such violence is unacceptable anywhere. He offered “prayers for justice and support for the survivor.”

The comments came in response to media reports that a 40-year-old Hindu woman was allegedly gang-raped, tied to a tree, tortured and had her hair cut by two men in Bangladesh’s Jhenaidah district after she refused to pay extortion money, according to police and local sources.

The attack has drawn widespread condemnation and intensified concerns about the safety of minority communities in Bangladesh. Authorities say the victim was rescued unconscious by local residents and taken to Jhenaidah Sadar Hospital, where she was treated and later filed a complaint with police.

Dhawan’s reaction reflects growing outcry on social media, where many users have called for accountability and justice for the survivor. His message underscores the broader expectation that violence against any individual, regardless of nationality or background, must be unequivocally condemned.
