Shyam Das Prabhu was recently arrested by Chattogram Police following his visit to jailed spiritual leader Das whose arrest on sedition charges led to death of a lawyer in clashes and sparked agitation in India.
Hindu priest Shyam Das Prabhu was recently apprehended in Chattogram Bangladesh a few days after the arrest of spiritual leader Chinmoy Krishna Das on sedition charges on Nov 26.
Prabhu had reportedly traveled to visit Das in jail.
Radharamn Das, Vice-President and Spokesperson for International Society for Krishna Consciousness Kolkata (ISKCON) on Nov 29 posted on X stating, "Another Brahmachari Sri Shyam Das Prabhu was arrested by Chattogram Police today."
In another post, Das questioned, "Does he look like a terrorist? #FreeISKCONMonks Bangladesh. The arrest of innocent #ISKCON brahmacharis are deeply shocking & disturbing."
Prabhu was arrested without an official warrant, sources were quoted as saying.
Since the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government in August, there has been a strong crackdown on members of the Hindu community in Bangladesh. Over 200 temples have been targeted, according to media reports.
This week, the Bangladeshi authorities froze the bank accounts of 17 individuals connected to ISKCON, including that of Krishna Das.
Also around that time, a petition was filed in the High Court seeking a ban on ISKCON, with the attorney general labeling the organization as a "religious fundamentalist group." However, the court rejected the request for a ban on the global organization.
