BJP leaders, spearheaded by Suvendu Adhikari, protested outside the Bangladesh High Commission in Kolkata over the arrest of ISKCON priest Chinmoy Krishna Das. They demanded his release, alleging religious persecution in Bangladesh.

Amid escalating violence against Hindus and arrest of priest Chinmoy Krishna Das', a petition has been submitted to the Bangladesh high court seeking a ban on the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).

Bangladesh's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) has criticised India's response to the arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, a former ISKCON leader in Chattogram, stating that it misrepresents facts and undermines the spirit of friendship and understanding between the two neighbouring countries.
