Bangladesh Grants Parole to Hindu Leader Chinmoy Krishna Das for Mother's Funeral
Bangladesh authorities granted Hindu rights leader Chinmoy Krishna Das five hours' parole to attend his mother Sandhya Rani Dhar's funeral after her death on Thursday. Das, arrested in November 2024 on sedition charges and facing six criminal cases, remains in jail as bail in some cases is pending. The parole was approved following a family application, with conditions to attend the funeral in Hathazari and return within five hours. Dhar had been ill and wished to see her son before passing.
