The so-called Islamic State group has said it was behind the beheading of a senior Hindu priest and wounding two worshippers in northern Bangladesh.
In a statement IS said that “caliphate soldiers” carried out the assaults using “light weapons”.
Jogeswar Roy, 45, was attacked by two assailants armed with pistols and cleavers at his home in the temple on Sunday, police say.
The Bangladeshi government insists that IS is not active in the country.
