Charu Chandra Das Brahmachari, the general secretary of ISKCON Bangladesh, said the monk had been removed from all positions of the organisation.

Chinmoy Krishna Das, a Hindu priest and minority rights advocate in Bangladesh, was arrested and denied bail on sedition charges. India's ministry of external affairs expressed concern, noting attacks on minorities protesting Das's arrest.

The High Court Division of Bangladesh's Supreme Court on Thursday (November 28) refused to impose ban on activities of Iskcon (International Society For Krishna Consciousness) in the country, said local media.
