A Bangladeshi court denied bail to a Hindu monk accused of sedition, leading to heightened security in Chittagong. The monk's arrest sparked religious tensions, following allegations of flag disrespect and the murder of a lawyer.
Security forces heightened their presence in Chittagong as a court rejected bail for Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das, who faces sedition charges amid religious tensions in Bangladesh . Chinmoy Krishna Das was arrested in November for allegedly disrespecting the Bangladesh i flag during a rally. Violence erupted following a previous bail hearing, prompting security concerns. Public prosecutor Raihanul Wajed Chowdhury stated that they opposed bail because further investigations were required.
The family of slain lawyer Saiful Islam Alif, murdered in November, has filed two cases against individuals they believe are connected to his death. Religious relations in Bangladesh have been strained since last year's student-led revolution that ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. India's Hindu-nationalist government, a key supporter of Hasina, has kept the 77-year-old in exile since she fled protesters who stormed the prime minister's palace on August 5. In December, Bangladesh requested India's extradition of Hasina to face charges of 'massacres, killings, and crimes against humanity.' India acknowledged receiving the request but refrained from further comment
