Chinmoy Krishna’s bail petition rejected

A court in Chattogram has rejected the bail petition of Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, a spokesperson for the Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagran Jote, in five cases filed over murder and clashes.

The court of Chattogram Metropolitan Sessions Judge Hasanul Islam passed the order on Thursday (July 24).

Assistant Public Prosecutor (APP) of the Metropolitan Sessions Court, Advocate Raihanul Wazed Chowdhury, confirmed the matter.

On November 26 last, tensions spread on Chattogram court premises when followers of Chinmoy Das intercepted a prison van carrying the former ISKCON leader after his bail prayer was rejected by a court in the sedition case.

Lawyer Alif was stabbed to death during a clash between law enforcers and Chinmoy’s supporters over the matter on the court premises.
