The statement added further, “We have come across disturbing reports that Sri Chinmoy Krishna Das, one of the prominent leaders of ISKCON Bangladesh, has been detained by the Dhaka police. It is outrageous to make baseless allegations that ISKCON has anything to do with terrorism anywhere in the world.”, the statement added further. His detention came just days following he addressed a massive rally in Rangpur on Friday, where he condemned the ongoing violence and discrimination faced by Hindus in the country.
