The Daily Star, a Bangladesh-based news publication, said a notice posted by the Bangladesh mission in Delhi on its board said, "Due to unavoidable circumstances, all consular & visa services from the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi are temporarily suspended until further notice.
The move comes after some members of the extremist group Akhand Hindu Rashtra Sena protested in front of the High Commission in Delhi on Saturday and chanted slogans against Bangladesh. The protesters reportedly threatened Bangladesh High Commissioner to India M Riaz Hamidullah as well. The group was reportedly protesting against the killing of a Hindu man, Dipu Chandra Das, 27, a worker whose body was set on fire after being lynched in Bangladesh last week.

External affairs ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal later said the protesters were dispersed by the police as he reiterated that the government is committed to the safety of all foreign missions and posts, HT reported earlier.
The group called for the protection of all minorities in Bangladesh, and there was “no attempt to breach the fence or create a security situation”, Jaiswal said. “The police stationed at the spot dispersed the group after a few minutes,” he said.
