Bangladeshi mission attacked in Agartala

India on Monday described as "deeply regrettable" an incident of breach of premises at the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala and said consular properties should not be targeted under any circumstances.

The comments by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) came hours after thousands of people took out a massive rally around the Bangladeshi mission in the capital city of Tripura protesting the arrest of ISKCON leader Chinmoy Krishna Das in Bangladesh, according to Indian media.

Over 50 protesters reportedly entered the premises of the Bangladeshi mission in Agartala, triggering concerns among those present at the complex.

"The incident earlier today of the breach of premises at the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala is deeply regrettable," the MEA said.

It said the government is taking action to step up security for the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi and other missions of the country in India.

"Diplomatic and consular properties should not be targeted under any circumstances," the MEA said in a statement.
