IS threat to RKM in Bangladesh

New Delhi: Assuring ‘full support and protection’, the Bangladesh government has beefed up the security at the Ramakrishna Mission in Dhaka after a staff member there received a death threat from suspected Islamic State militants in the country.
India on Friday said it had raised with Bangladesh the death threat from suspected IS militants to a priest at the Ramakrishna Mission in Dhaka.
The Bangladesh government has assured ‘full support and protection’ and has beefed up security at the Ramakrishna Mission premises, External Affairs Ministry spokesman Vikas Swarup said in a statement here.
He said the Indian high commission in Dhaka ‘had contacted both the Bangladesh police and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’.
“We are also in a direct contact with the Ramakrishna Mission in Dhaka,” Swarup informed.
