HC issues rule on bail of Chinmoy in sedition case

Published : Tuesday, 4 February, 2025 at 3:11 PM  Count : 551


The High Court on Tuesday issued a rule asking the government to explain in two weeks why ISKCON leader Chinmoy Krishna Das should not be granted bail in the sedition case.

The bench of Justice Md Atoar Rahman and Justice Md Ali Reza issued the rule after holding hearing on a petition filed by Chinmoy seeking bail in the case.

Lawyers Apurba Kumar Bhattacharya and Prabir Ranjan Halder was present in the court on behalf of Chinmoy, while additional attorney general Anik R Haque and additional attorney general Arshadur Rouf represented the state.
On October 25 last year, a large gathering of the Sanatani community was held in Chittaging under the leadership of Chinmoy Krishna Das.

A sedition case was filed against 19 people, including Chinmoy, on charge of belittling the national flag on October 31.

On November 22, another large rally was held in Rangpur under the leadership of Chinmoy who was arrested in Dhaka on November 25 in the sedition case.

On January 2 this year, Chittagong Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Saiful Islam denied bail to Chinmoy in the sedition case.

On December 11 last year, the same court rejected his bail petition in the same case.

The Chittagong court rejected Chinmoy's bail petition, ordered him to be sent to jail, and the decision sparked clashes between his followers, law enforcers and lawyers on the court premises.

At one stage of the clash, a lawyer named advocate Saiful Islam Alif, was hacked to death outside the court premises.

Several cases have, so far, been filed against Chinmoy and others following the murder of the lawyer.
