Jailed Hindu Monk Gets 5-Hour Parole for Mother's Funeral in Bangladesh: 'Pure, Unadulterated Cruelty'
Authorities granted the jailed Hindu monk five hours to attend his mother’s funeral after family pleas, and he returned to custody, officials said.
- Chattogram District Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Zahidul Islam Mia authorized a 5-hour parole on Thursday for jailed Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das to attend his mother's funeral rites.
- Sandhya Rani Dhar, 71, died at a hospital in Hathazari on Thursday; her family said her final wish to see her imprisoned son remained unfulfilled.
- At Pundarik Dham temple in Chattogram, Das's last rites were performed; emotional video footage showed him touching the feet of a Radha-Krishna idol before returning to custody.
- Facing six total criminal cases, Das remains in custody because his bail in a sedition case is stayed, though he secured bail from the High Court in four cases.
- Arrested in November 2024, Das served as a spokesperson for the Bangladesh Sammilito Sanatani Jagaran Jot, which organized rallies demanding minority rights after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's ouster.
