The largest violence in Narayanganj and many districts in Bangladesh was the 1964 East Pakistan riots which was the massacre and ethnic cleansing of Bengali Hindus from the East Pakistan period. In the Narayanganj sub-division alone, about 3,500 Hindus were killed, 300 Hindu women were abducted, 31,000 Hindu dwellings were destroyed, and 80,000 Hindus were rendered homeless.
