Bangladesh: Muslim lawyers yell ‘Allah hu Akbar’ after court denies bail to persecuted Hindu priest Chinmoy Das prabhu

Hours after Chinmoy Krishna Das Prabhu was denied bail by the Chittagong Metropolitan court, Muslim lawyers were seen raising ‘Allah hu Akbar’ slogans in unison.

Chinmoy Krishna Das Prabhu is the spokesperson of Bangladesh’s Sanatan Jagaran Manch and the chief of Pundarik Dham in Chittagong.

The former ISKCON priest was arrested in November last year on dubious charges of ‘sedition.’ He has been languishing in jail for the past 42 days.

On Thursday, the Chittagong Metropolitan Court denied bail to Chinmoy Das Prabhu. He was represented by a team of 11 lawyers.

In visuals that have surfaced on social media, Muslim lawyers present within the court premises could be seen yelling ‘Allah hu Akbar’ and anti-India slogans.
