Chinmoy Krishna Das

Chattogram lawyers on Sunday in the port city staged demonstrations demanding inclusion of arrested Hindu community leader Chinmoy Krishna Das’ name as the prime accused in the murder case filed over the killing of lawyer Saiful Islam Alif.

They also expressed anger at the fact that Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, formerly a leader of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, in short ISKCON, was not even named in the case statement.

Assistant public prosecutor in Chattogram Saiful Islam Alif was hacked to death near Chattogram Court Building area on November 26 during clashes between members of law enforcement agencies and followers of Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagran Jote spokesperson Chinmoy Krishna Das.

Chinmoy Krishna’s bail hearing in a sedition case is scheduled for tomorrow amid protests in Chattogram and elsewhere across the country.

Addressing a condolence rally in front of Sonali Bank on the court premises, Chattogram District Bar Association president Nazim Uddin Chowdhury said that Chinmoy Das should have been named as an accused in all the related cases, including the murder case filed over the lawyer killing, and the one filed over the November 26 clash on a Chattogram court premises.

‘We firmly believe Chinmoy Das should be the prime accused in all these cases. The lawyer community will not tolerate his exclusion from cases,’ said Nazim, adding that there was clear evidence in video footage and eyewitness accounts.

They also demanded prompt investigation into the murder case and submission of charge sheet at the earliest.

‘We will continue our protest till justice for advocate Saiful’s murder is delivered,’ he said.

Earlier in the day, lawyers, wearing black badges, staged a protest march that started from in front of the Sonali Bank on the court premises, passed through Laldighi and the Hawkers Market, and concluded in front of Doel Bhaban.

The court of Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Saiful Islam is scheduled to hear Chinmoy’s bail petition on Tuesday as the hearings on Wednesday and Thursday were not held amid boycott by lawyers, said Monir Hossen Sarker, bench assistant of the court.

Earlier, on November 26, the Sixth Metropolitan Magistrate Court of Chattogram rejected Chinmoy’s bail in a sedition case and ordered him to be sent to jail.

Five cases were filed so far over Saiful Islam Alif’s killing near court premises and vandalism and other offences.

The police have filed three of the cases and victim families filed the rest two, while 38 people, including nine in connection with Saiful killing, have been arrested.

Four days after the lawyer had been hacked to death, victim’s father Jamal Uddin filed a murder case with the Kotwali police against 31 named and 10–15 unidentified people on Saturday.

Saiful’s elder brother Khane Alam filed another case with the same police over attacks and vandalism perpetrated on a Chattogram court premises against 116 named individuals and 400–500 unnamed people.​

Although China did not help Pakistan by sending its own troops in a war against India, if you look at the defense industry of Pakistan, you will notice that almost all of the heavy military hardware technology was provided by China. Tank, aircraft, frigate, and submarine technologies were transferred by China. Pakistan's nuclear reactors were purchased from China.

China is more focused on Taiwan (South China Sea), and the Middle East (Israel-Palestine war and US-Iran Feud). This is precisely why China has decided to put minimum resource in China-India feud. Your problem is you think India is a superpower which is utterly wrong. Your opinions are far from reality.

That is exactly say. China is interested in selling their substandard weapons to the countries who has difficulty in sourcing them from any advance nation or their budget does not support those costly purchases. If any country thinks that China will come to their rescue in war like situation then it is their biggest misconception. China has not genuinely supported any country. They always try to bring that country in debt trap and enslave them.

Chinese with their substandard weapons whacked India in 1962. India doesn't need one more whack in 2024. No country on Earth think China would send troops to help them in a war. Good number of nations want Chinese weapons because China has a liberal policy of transferring military technology to friendly countries. India cannot compete with China and it is evident from their comparative weapons exports.

Because of virulent Indian media propaganda stemming from the arrest of a Hindu ISKCON priest in Bangladesh, Indian VHP Hindutva party functionary miscreants attacked and vandalized the regional Bangladesh High Commission building in Agartala in the state of Tripura. They beat up High Commission staff and destroyed the office furniture and accessories/equipment. Police who were supposed to prevent this attack played the role of silent watchers.

Regional High Commission was also attacked in Kolkata, but it was not as effective for the attackers damage-wise.

India's current administration bears the responsibility for both attacks under the Vienna convention, as these installations are Bangladesh territory and attacks on these are tantamount to attacks on sovereign Bangladesh soil. Video below.

Chinmoy's bail hearing deferred by a month

A Chattogram court today deferred to January 2 the hearing on the bail petition of Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, an ex-ISKCON leader who was arrested in a sedition case.

At 11:00am, the Chattogram Metropolitan Session Judge Saiful Islam set the new date for the hearing as the defence lawyer was absent at the courtroom.

Chittagong Metropolitan Police's Additional Deputy Commissioner (Prosecution) Mofizur Rahman confirmed this information to the media.

The police ramped up security at the court premises ahead of the hearing today. Additional police patrols were seen at various points of the court area.

A group of lawyers were also seen bringing out a procession. However, the accused was not produced in the court today.

Meanwhile, the number of people at the court premises was also lower than other days.

Chinmoy, who is also the spokesperson for Sammilita Sanatani Jagaran Jote, was arrested by the Detective Branch (DB) of police from the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport area in Dhaka on Nov 25.

Earlier on October 31, a BNP leader filed a case with Kotwali Police Station in Chattogram, accusing Chinmoy and 18 others of disrespecting Bangladesh's national flag in Chattogram's New Market area during a rally of the Hindu community on October 25.​
