Das, a former member of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), Bangladesh, was arrested from Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Monday. He was denied bail and sent to jail by the Chattogram’s Sixth Metropolitan Magistrate court in a sedition case on Tuesday.

A Hindu monk has been arrested in Bangladesh, days after spiritual leader Chinmoy Krishna Das was put behind bars, triggering massive protests by the minority community members in the South Asian nation.

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.

On Friday, three Hindu temples were vandalized by a mob in Chattogram. The attack targeted the Shantaneshwari Matri Temple, Shoni Temple, and Shantaneshwari Kalibari Temple. According to PTI, the Shoni Temple and the gates of the other two temples were damaged.
