DHAKA: A court in the southeastern port city of Chattogram on Thursday denied bail to Hindu monk and former ISKCON leader Chinmoy Krishna Das in a sedition case.
A group of 11 lawyers stood for him with a bail petition during the hearing for which Das appeared virtually.
“The hearing continued for some 30 minutes when (Metropolitan Sessions) Judge Mohammad Saiful Islam heard both the prosecution and the defence lawyers and then rejected his (Das’) bail petition,” a court official said.
