Dhaka, May 14 (IANS): A 75-year-old Buddhist monk was hacked to death on Saturday in Bangladesh's Bandarban district.
An official said the monk's body was found inside a Buddhist temple, BBC reported.
Police said Maung Shue U Chak appeared to have been attacked by at least four people at the temple in Baishari, 350 km south-east of the capital Dhaka.
