ISKCON clarified that Chinmoy was removed from all positions long ago due to violations of organizational discipline.

Charu Chandra Das Brahmachari, the general secretary of ISKCON Bangladesh, said the monk had been removed from all positions of the organisation.

Chinmoy Krishna Das, a Hindu priest and minority rights advocate in Bangladesh, was arrested and denied bail on sedition charges. India's ministry of external affairs expressed concern, noting attacks on minorities protesting Das's arrest.

Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, a member of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) and spokesperson of the Sanatan Jagaran Mancha, has become a focal point of national discourse in Bangladesh following his arrest in a sedition case.

Iskcon had earlier expelled Chinmoy Krishna Das who was arrested earlier this week and was slapped with sedition charges. Bangladeshi media has reported that the sedition charges were levelled against Das because he flew a religious flag above Bangladesh's national flag in a religious congregation in Bangladesh.

The High Court on Thursday declined to impose a ban on the activities of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in Bangladesh, as reported by a local newspaper. This decision comes shortly after a lawyer was killed in a clash between security personnel and supporters of a Hindu leader arrested on sedition charges.

BJP leaders, spearheaded by Suvendu Adhikari, protested outside the Bangladesh High Commission in Kolkata over the arrest of ISKCON priest Chinmoy Krishna Das. They demanded his release, alleging religious persecution in Bangladesh.
