Webdesk, TNI Dacca, 8th August, 2015: Another Bangladeshi blogger was hacked to death yesterday in his apartment at Dacca. His name is Niloy Chakrabarty alias Niloy Neel (His blogging name). He is the fourth target of the fundamentalist groups in Bangladesh. Neel wrote posts condemning the recent killings of three other bloggers in his country. He also routinely posted on women’s and minority rights, communal violence and the oppression of Hindus in Bangladesh. Neel, who was unmarried and in his late 20s, had been threatened by Islamic extremists before. He contributed to the Mukto-Mona (Freethinker) humanist blogging platform established by Avijit Roy, who was murdered in February.
