Violent protesters gathered outside the Indian Assistant High Commission in Chittagong, Bangladesh, during the 29-minute period from 8:46 p.m. to 9:16 p.m. UTC on December 18, 2025, according to a post by journalist Aditya Raj Kaul on X at https://x.com/AdityaRajKaul/status/2001757769364574350. This development follows stone pelting and arson near the Indian Assistant High Commission office and residence between 8:16 p.m. and 8:46 p.m. UTC on the same day, as reported by Kaul in a prior post at https://x.com/AdityaRajKaul/status/2001747778654064720, with police working to control the situation. The Chittagong protests occur amid broader unrest in Bangladesh, including attacks on newspaper offices in Dhaka earlier on December 18, such as the gutting of the Daily Star building and prior ransacking of Dainik Prothom Alo, according to previous reports from Kaul and PTI_News on X.
