In Bangladesh, two more Hindu monks were arrested following the earlier detention of minority leader Chinmayakrishna Das. The newly arrested monks, Rudraprati Keshab Das and Ranganath Shyamsundar Das, are members of the Prabartok Sangha organization. They were reportedly taken into custody after visiting Chinmayakrishna in jail to provide food, medicine, and money.

Principal Swatantra Gouranga Das of Prabartok Sangha confirmed the arrests, stating the information came through voice messages from the detained monks who were initially held at Kotwali police station before being transferred to jail.

The arrests come amid rising tensions following Chinmayakrishna Das's detention on charges of sedition during a gathering. His arrest has sparked protests in Chittagong and Rangpur, with one lawyer dying during clashes with police. There have been allegations of increased persecution of minorities in Bangladesh since August 5.

The situation has drawn international attention, with New Delhi expressing concern about the condition of minorities in Bangladesh. A petition to ban ISKCON in Bangladesh was filed in the High Court, where the government labeled it a "religious fundamentalist organization," though the court dismissed the ban request. Protests continue in Kolkata against these developments.
