Bangladesh’s Hindu saint Chinmoy Das has received another big blow, when the court rejected his bail application. This means that he will have to remain in jail for the time being. According to Dhaka’s media outlet The Daily Star, a team of 11 Supreme Court lawyers came to Chattogram from Dhaka and the case was heard in front of Metropolitan Judge Mohammad Saiful Islam.

Echo and struggle of the case

A month ago, this case created a lot of excitement in Chattogram Court. During the hearing, a lot of tension was seen between the lawyers and the court. During the hearing, the issue of some lawyers receiving threats also came up, which makes this case even more controversial. Tight security was arranged inside and outside the court.

Depth of the issue

This case not only raises the issue of rights and justice of an individual, but also raises a big question for the minority Hindu community of Bangladesh. Is the justice system strong for the minority communities there? Is their right to live a respectable life protected?

Cancelling the court’s bail can be a legal decision, but its social and political impact can be very deep. Now it remains to be seen what is the outcome of this case in the coming days and what new steps are taken in support of Chinmoy Das.

The issues of minorities in Bangladesh are being constantly monitored, and this case has once again revived this debate. Now it is important for everyone to see what will happen next for justice and equality.
