Ramen Roy, the advocate who represented Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Prabhu in Bangladeshi court was brutally attacked by protesters and his house was ransacked, ISKCON claimed on Monday. The spiritual organisation said there is a growing danger against religious minorities in Bangladesh and has advised its followers to hide their identity.

The bail hearing for Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das, scheduled for Tuesday (3 December) at a court in Chattogram, Bangladesh, has been postponed until 2 January due to the absence of a lawyer to represent him. The delay comes amid growing concerns for the safety of his legal team.

Kolkata: ISKCON vice president Radharaman Das talking to the Free Press Journal (FPJ) on Tuesday mentioned that monk Chinmoy Krishna Das has been targeted after the hearing of the case got deferred by a month and Chinmoy Krishna Das’ lawyers got brutally attacked.

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.

ISKCON on Monday claimed that Advocate Ramen Roy, who had defended Bangladesh's Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Prabhu in a legal case there, was brutally attacked in the neighbouring country and is now fighting for his life in a hospital.

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) on Thursday expressed solidarity with priest Chinmoy Krishna Das, who was arrested on charges of sedition for allegedly raising a flag on a stand displaying Bangladesh's national flag.

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.

Chinmoy Krishna Das, who served as a spokesperson for the Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagran Jote, was arrested at Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Monday while travelling to Chattogram for a rally.

ISKCON is yet to issue statement. Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das’s arrest in sedition case earlier this month led to widespread protests in Bangladesh.

The organisation said it is outrageous to make baseless allegations that ISKCON has anything to do with terrorism anywhere in the world.

The bail hearing for Chinmoy Krishna Das, a Hindu priest accused of sedition in Bangladesh, has been postponed to January 2, 2025, due to the absence of lawyers. ISKCON said that his previous lawyer was attacked and was in the ICU in serious condition.
