A Bangladesh court on Tuesday ordered the arrest of detained Hindu leader Chinmoy Krishna Das in four more cases, a day after the court took a similar action against him in connection with the murder of assistant government prosecutor Saiful Islam Alif.
The four cases on which the court took action on Tuesday include obstruction of police duties at the Kotwali police station and attacks on lawyers and justice seekers, according to Assistant Public Prosecutor Md Raihanul Wazed Chowdhury. “The court granted the plea to show him (Das) arrested after the virtual hearing,” news portal bdnews24 quoted Chowdhury as saying.
A former ISKCON leader, Das, was arrested at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka on November 25 last year in a sedition case over alleged defamation of the national flag. His bail petition was rejected and he was sent to jail. On April 30, a high court bench ordered Das’ release on bail. The decision was challenged before an Appellate Division chamber.
