Chinmoy Das to be interrogated at jail gate in two cases

On October 25, a large gathering of the Sanatan community was held in Chittagong under the leadership of Chinmoy Krishna Das.

A few days later, on October 31, a sedition case was filed against him, accusing him of desecrating the national flag. Eighteen others were also named as accused in the case.

On November 22, another large rally was held in Rangpur under the leadership of Chinmoy, who was arrested in Dhaka on November 25 in the sedition case.

A Chittagong court rejected Chinmoy’s bail petition and ordered him to be sent to jail.

The decision sparked clashes between his followers, law enforcers and lawyers on the court premises.

At one stage of the clash, lawyer Saiful Islam Alif was hacked to death outside the court premises.

Several cases were filed against Chinmoy and others following the murder of the lawyer.
