Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Pranay Verma was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday morning (23 December).

The Foreign Ministry summoned the Indian High Commissioner to convey Bangladesh’s grave concern to India over the regrettable incidents outside the perimeter of the Bangladesh High Commission and residence in New Delhi on 20 December 2025, and the acts of vandalism at the Bangladesh Visa Centre in Siliguri on 22 December 2025 by different extremist elements.

Bangladesh also expressed deep concern over violent protests staged outside the premises of the different Diplomatic Missions of Bangladesh in India, said a press release.

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 Government of Bangladesh called upon the Government of India 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.

The Government of Bangladesh expects the Government of India to immediately take appropriate steps in accordance with its international and diplomatic obligations to safeguard the dignity and security of diplomatic personnel and establishments.
