Shanto Khan, a Bangladeshi actor, and his father, Selim Khan, a media executive, were lynched by a mob in Chandpur, Bangladesh, while allegedly attempting to flee the country. The incident occurred amid political turmoil following the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The mob’s anger stemmed from Selim’s alleged involvement in illegal sand extraction and corruption. Shanto is known for portraying Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in a recent film.
