Following the arrest of Hindu priest Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari in Dhaka, protests have erupted across Bangladesh, particularly in Chattogram. The arrest of the former ISKCON leader has triggered violent clashes, with a Hindu temple in Chattogram’s Firingibazar allegedly targeted by a mob. The incident highlights growing unrest in the country, with many in the Hindu community demanding justice for their community and for the release of Chinmoy Krishna Das.

ISKCON Bangladesh condemned the arrest and the subsequent violence, calling for justice and an end to discrimination against Hindus. The government of Bangladesh has responded to the situation, with the Foreign Ministry stating that the issue is an "internal affair" and rejecting India's condemnation of the arrest. The situation escalated after the killing of lawyer Saiful Islam Alif in Chattogram, with authorities detaining at least 20 individuals in connection to the murder.

The unrest traces back to tensions over minority rights in Bangladesh, particularly for Hindus, who comprise around 8% of the population. The arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Das has exacerbated these tensions, as the community faces growing persecution. The Bangladesh government, now under the leadership of Chief Adviser Prof. Muhammad Yunus, has been criticized for failing to address the rising violence against minorities and is now under pressure to ensure the safety of all religious groups.
