Chinmoy Das gets bail in sedition case

Sanatan Jagaran Mancha spokesperson Chinmoy Krishna Das has secured bail in a sedition case.

The HC bench of Justice Md Atoar Rahman and Justice Md Ali Reza passed the order on Wednesday (April 30).

Chinmoy’s lawyer Apurba Kumar Bhattachargya confirmed the matter to media.

Court sources said earlier, on February 4, the HC issued a rule asking the government to explain why Chinmoy should not be granted bail in the sedition case, rejecting his bail plea.

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