The chief priest of Dharmarajika Buddhist Monastery at Dhaka's Basabo has received death threat.
AB Siddik, who claimed himself an Islamic militant, sent the letter to the priest on Tuesday.
Karuna Bhikku told the Dhaka Tribune that a person, who usually delivers official letters to the monastery, handed over the death threatening letter around 12:30pm.
The letter read: ''You (the chief priest of Dharmarajika Buddhist Monastery) will be hacked to death brutally by one month; the golden portrait of Goutombuddho could not protect you from death."
"There is a bold activity of Buddhist religion in this country, so stop the activity here."
On information, Additional Deputy Commissioner of police of the zone visited the monastery. The security of the monastery has been tightened.
Abdul Quddus, officer-in-charge of Sabujbagh police station, said a General Diary (GD) has been recorded in this regard.
