2nd Hindu Priest Arrested In Bangladesh Amid Protests

Days after the arrest of Spiritual leader Chinmoy Krishna Das, another Hindu priest was arrested in Bangladesh’s Chattogram, sources said on Saturday. The arrested priest was identified as Shyam Das Prabhu, who reportedly went to meet Chinmoy Krishna Das in jail.

He was arrested without any official warrant, the sources said, adding that the practice allows authorities to detain someone and release them later.

Radharamn Das, Vice-President and Spokesperson, ISKCON Kolkata also posted about the monk’s arrest on X (formally Twitter) on Friday, and said, “Another Brahmachari Sri Shyam Das Prabhu was arrested by Chattogram Police today.”
