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

Iskcon Bangladesh' general secretary Charu Chandra Das Brahmachari said monk Chinmoy was removed from all positions within the organisation long ago due to a breach of organisational discipline.

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.
