Bangladesh police used teargas and batons to disperse Hindu protesters in Dhaka and Chittagong following the arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Das, a Hindu leader associated with ISKCON. Das was arrested at Dhaka airport on sedition charges, linked to an October rally where he allegedly disrespected Bangladesh’s national flag. Protests turned violent as over 2,000 supporters blocked a police van carrying Das. Police claimed protesters threw bricks, injuring one officer. India expressed concern over the safety of Hindus and minorities in Bangladesh, urging authorities to protect them amidst reports of attacks and vandalism targeting minority communities.
