The legal troubles of Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das in Bangladesh have become a significant flashpoint, with his bail hearing delayed after no lawyer appeared to represent him. Das, a prominent figure in the Hindu community, faces charges under controversial sedition laws following his alleged act of raising a saffron flag above the national emblem during a religious gathering.
The postponement of the hearing to next month has intensified concerns among his supporters, who view the charges as an attack on religious freedoms and minority rights.
The case has stirred international attention, especially in India, where advocacy groups have called on authorities to ensure his safety and a fair trial. Public demonstrations in Dhaka and Chittagong reflect growing unrest within Bangladesh’s Hindu minority, as they perceive increasing marginalization and violence.
Several activists have accused local authorities of targeting the monk to suppress dissent, while legal experts have raised questions about procedural delays. Meanwhile, diplomatic channels are reportedly being used to address the situation as pressure mounts on the Bangladeshi government to uphold minority protections
