India on Tuesday urged Bangladesh authorities to ensure safety, security of Hindus and all minorities and expressed concerns over the arrest and denial of bail to Chinmoy Krishna Das.

A lawyer defending Hindu priest Chinmoy Krishna Das was reportedly killed amid raging protests outside Bangladesh Court on Tuesday. A huge crowd, largely believed to be Hindus were present outside the Bangladesh's Chattogram Court to protest against the arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Das when the police reportedly launched a crackdown and opened fire on them.

Chinmoy Krishna Das Prabhu, who enjoys massive popularity in Bangladesh, urged his supporters to remain peaceful and avoid disrupting public order.
