ISKCON is yet to issue statement. Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das’s arrest in sedition case earlier this month led to widespread protests in Bangladesh.

The arrest of Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das in Bangladesh has ignited protests led by the Indian Secular Front (ISF) over allegations of minority persecution. As diplomatic tensions flare, ISKCON and Indian officials call for the protection of Hindu minorities amid ongoing unrest in the region.

The arrest of a Hindu monk in Bangladesh has triggered a fresh war of words with neighbour India over the condition of minorities in the country. Chinmoy Krishna Das, a spokesperson of a Bangladesh-based Hindu organisation, was arrested on sedition charges this week, spurring clashes that led to one death.

The incident occurred on Thursday during a rally organised by the Bongio Hindu Jagaran Manch, a Hindu group protesting alleged attacks on Hindus and the arrest of Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh stepped up security in the port city of Chittagong on Wednesday as police arrested six people in connection with the murder of a lawyer, who was killed during clashes following the arrest of a leader of the country's Hindu minority.
