The interim government in Dhaka has downplayed the vandalism at Rabindranath Tagore's ancestral home in Sirajganj, Bangladesh. According to the Bangladesh cultural affairs ministry, the incident on June 8 was not communal or political. Instead, it resulted from a personal dispute between an employee of 'Rabindra Kachharibari' and a visitor named Shahnewaz, escalating from a misunderstanding into a physical confrontation.
