Bangladesh court grants bail to ISKCON leader

A Bangladesh court has granted partial bail to ISKCON leader Chinmoy Krishna Das in a 2023 land dispute case from Chattogram. Judicial Magistrate Shakhawat Hossain approved the bail following a hearing, but Das remains in custody due to six other pending cases, including charges related to a high-profile lawyer murder and sedition. The specific case involved allegations of land grabbing, intimidation, and assault in Hathazari, filed by former minister Mir Mohammad Nasir Uddin.
