In a major setback for Hindu priest Chimoy Krishna Das, who was arrested and accused of sedition in Bangladesh, will have to spend a month behind bars. Chinmoy’s hearing has been pushed to next month after no lawyer appeared in court for the hearing on Tuesday.

Earlier, ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) claimed that a Bangladeshi lawyer defending the Hindu monk was “brutally attacked at his home by Islamists” and is in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit).
On Tuesday, lawyers refused to appear for Das during the bail hearing, following which the Chattogram court adjourned the proceedings. The court fixed the next date of hearing on January 2, 2025.
