I had in mind the situation in the Chittagong hill tracts. So
that is specifically Muslim attacks on Buddhist monks. I don't
have a link to an article. Kate Crosby gave a paper partly on
this subject recently, but I don't think she has published
anything yet.

Of course, East Pakistan/Bangladesh has rather a bad record for
the treatment of other non-Muslim minorities too.

Yes, as a specialist on Bangladesh, I was surprised I had never
heard of this --attacks on monks in the hill tracts-- the rest
I'm fully aware of, alas.
