Bangladesh court grants bail to jailed Hindu rights leader; release unlikely

Dhaka's High Court granted bail to Chinmoy Krishna Das in two more cases. His release is unlikely as he faces charges in other ongoing legal matters. Das was arrested in November 2024 on sedition charges, sparking protests and communal tensions. He now has High Court bail in four of six criminal cases against him. However, the sedition bail remains stayed, and a murder trial is underway.
