On Wednesday (30th April), the High Court of Bangladesh granted bail to former ISKCON priest, Chinmoy Krishna Das, after a whopping span of 156 days.
The verdict was delivered by a 2-Judge Bench of Justices Md Atoar Rahman and Md Ali Reza. The bail application was filed on 23rd April, citing the ill-health of the Hindu priest and the delay in the trial.
