Bangladesh High Court Grants Bail to Hindu Monk in Two Cases Amid Ongoing Charges
Bangladesh's High Court granted bail to Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das in two of the four cases against him, including charges of attempted murder, vandalism, and obstruction of government duties. Despite the bail, Das remains in custody due to four other pending cases, including sedition and murder. Arrested in November 2024 for allegedly disrespecting the national flag, his detention sparked protests and communal tensions. Das is a spokesperson for the Hindu rights group Sammilito Sanatan Jagaran Jote and has advocated for minority protections in Bangladesh.
