He is expected to be released from the jail following the HC order, unless the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court stays the HC verdict, Advocate Prahlad Debnath, a lawyer for Chinmoy, told The Daily Star.

Chinmoy's lawyer Apurba Kumar Bhattacharjee prayed to the HC bench on April 23 to grant bail to the Hindu spiritual leader since he was ill and suffering in jail without trial.

The HC did not grant him bail that day and said it will give the order after hearing the case on Wednesday (April 30, 2025).

Hindu Leader's Arrest

Chinmoy Krishna Das was arrested at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka on November 25.

Firoz Khan, former general secretary of Chattogram's Mohora ward BNP, filed the case with Kotwali Police Station, on October 31 where he accused Das and  18 others of disrespecting the national flag during a rally on October 25.

A Chittagong court sent him to jail on November 26 by rejecting his bail plea.

Massive Protest

His arrest massive protests by the minority Hindu community in the South Asian nation which witnessed a political turmoil ever since former PM Sheikh Hasina escaped to India amid widespread violent protests against her government.

India had earlier expressed deep concern over the arrest of the Hindu leader.

Bangladesh has witnessed rising cases of attacks on Hindus ever since Hasina-led government toppled the Muslim-majority nation.
