A lawyer representing Chinmoy Krishna Das, a Hindu monk arrested and accused of sedition in Bangladesh, has been brutally attacked, according to the ISKCON. However, several lawyers in Bangladesh have denied any such incident took place.

Radharamn Das, spokesperson for International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) Kolkata, on Monday claimed that the advocate defending Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das is currently struggling for his life.

A Bangladesh court will hear Hindu priest Chinmoy Krishna Das's bail plea on December 3. Das was arrested on November 27 for sedition related to hoisting a saffron flag above the national flag. His arrest incited protests and led to the freezing of accounts linked to 17 ISKCON members,

Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, also known as Krishna Das Prabhu, is an ISKCON monk and prominent Hindu leader who was arrested in Bangladesh for his alleged involvement in protests against violence towards Hindus.

After the formation of the interim government headed by Muhammad Yunus, minorities in Bangladesh, especially Hindus, have come under severe attack by Islamist extremists in the country.

ISKCON calls for a worldwide prayer gathering on December 1 to support devotees and minorities in Bangladesh following the arrest of monks and escalating violence against religious groups. The movement highlights the urgent need for protection and solidarity amidst ongoing unrest.

Earlier, General Secretary Of ISKCON Bangladesh Charu Chandra Das Brahmachari had said that the arrested monk had been removed from all positions due to breach of discipline. On this, the group clarified that Das was not an official member of the organisation and it did not attempt to distance itself from him.
