Bangladesh's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) has criticised India's response to the arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, a former ISKCON leader in Chattogram, stating that it misrepresents facts and undermines the spirit of friendship and understanding between the two neighbouring countries.

The Bangladesh high court has asked the government to take immediate measures to address the situation, which has raised concerns over the safety of Hindus.

Amid escalating violence against Hindus and arrest of priest Chinmoy Krishna Das', a petition has been submitted to the Bangladesh high court seeking a ban on the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
