ISKCON Kolkata reports arrest of Hindu priest in Bangladesh, sparking clashes and international tensions over minority community safety.

Hindu priest Das, a former member of ISKCON was arrested from Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Monday           .

The development comes amid widespread protests by Hindus across Bangladesh following the arrest of former Iskcon leader Chinmoy Krishna Das earlier this week on sedition charges.

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.

Days after the arrest of spiritual leader Chinmoy Krishna Das, another Hindu priest, Shyam Das Prabhu, was taken into custody in Bangladesh’s Chattogram. Prabhu had reportedly gone to visit Chinmoy Das in jail. (This is a developing story. More details to be added...)
