"We expect the interim government to ensure the safety of Missions and Posts in Bangladesh in keeping with its diplomatic obligations," it said.
It said the envoy was apprised of India's strong concerns about the deteriorating security environment in Bangladesh.
The Indian authorities expressed concerns over inaction of the Bangladesh interim government over the incidents and called them "unfortunate".
"India completely rejects the false narrative sought to be created by extremist elements regarding certain recent events in Bangladesh," the MEA said in a statement.
"It is unfortunate that the interim government has neither conducted a thorough investigation nor shared meaningful evidence with India regarding the incidents," it added.
