A court in Chittagong denied bail to Chinmoy Krishna Das, an ISKCON priest charged with sedition, as protests erupted over minority protections by the Bangladeshi government.
According to police reports, protests at Das's arrest sparked significant unrest, resulting in demonstrators throwing bricks and police responding with tear gas to disperse crowds.
India expressed deep concern regarding the arrest, emphasizing a pattern of attacks against Hindus and minorities in Bangladesh by extremist groups, while no actions were taken against these groups.
The sedition charges against Das stemmed from his public rally demanding justice for minorities after he allegedly disrespected the national flag of Bangladesh.
