A Bangladeshi court denied bail to Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das, accused of sedition, leading to heightened security in Chittagong. The monk's arrest follows allegations of flag disrespect during a rally.
Security forces heightened their presence in Chittagong as a Bangladesh i court rejected bail for Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das, accused of sedition amid religious tensions in the country. Chinmoy Krishna Das was arrested in November for allegedly disrespecting the Bangladesh i flag during a rally and faces charges of sedition. Violence erupted following a previous bail hearing, prompting security concerns.
Public prosecutor Raihanul Wajed Chowdhury stated they opposed bail due to ongoing investigations. The family of 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 a student-led revolution ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina last year. India's Hindu-nationalist government was a key supporter of Hasina, who has been in exile in India since fleeing protesters who stormed the prime minister's palace on August 5. Bangladesh requested India in December to return Hasina to face charges of 'massacres, killings, and crimes against humanity'. India confirmed receiving the request but declined further comment
