Chinmoy Krishna Das got bail, still forced to remain behind bars. Know what is the legal problem:

News India Live, Digital Desk: A big news has come to light in Bangladesh regarding former ISKCON member and Hindu spiritual guru Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari. A Chittagong court has granted bail to Chinmoy Krishna Das, who is involved in a treason case. However, despite this order of the court, he will have to spend the night in jail for the time being. The news of his not being released even after getting bail has increased the uneasiness among his supporters and human rights organizations.

Relief from the court, but the walls of the jail are still intact

During the hearing in the sessions court of Chittagong, the defense lawyers presented strong arguments for the bail of Chinmay Das. Despite strong opposition from the prosecution, the court granted him bail. But due to legal procedures and some technical hurdles, his release permit could not reach the jail on time. Sources say that the administration and police are trying to postpone his release by citing some other old cases or paperwork, which has further complicated the matter.

Sedition charges and nationwide demonstrations

Let us tell you that Chinmoy Krishna Das was arrested recently from Dhaka Airport when he was going to attend a program. He was booked under serious sections like insulting the national flag of Bangladesh and sedition. Following his arrest, massive violent demonstrations took place in Bangladeshi cities like Chittagong, Dhaka and Khulna, in which a lawyer also lost his life. The Indian government had also expressed its concern in this matter and appealed to Bangladesh to ensure the safety of Hindus.

Huge anger among supporters, security agencies alert

As soon as the news of his not being released despite bail spread, a large number of devotees and supporters started gathering outside the Chittagong Court premises and near the jail. In view of the situation, Bangladeshi security agencies have increased security in the area. Hindu organizations allege that Chinmoy Das is being deliberately targeted and keeping him in jail even after getting bail is a violation of human rights.

International pressure and India’s close watch

The case of Chinmoy Krishna Das is no longer just an internal issue of Bangladesh. The International Religious Freedom Commission and Hindu organizations around the world have taken a strong stance on this matter. The Ministry of External Affairs based in New Delhi is keeping a close watch on this entire incident. Experts believe that only the solution to this matter will clarify the real attitude of the interim government towards the minorities in Bangladesh.
