The sedition case against Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, spokesperson for the Bangladesh United Sanatani Awakening Alliance, is set for a hearing today (Thursday) at the Chattogram Court. The case pertains to allegations of dishonoring the national flag. To prevent any untoward incidents, extensive security measures have been deployed around the court and prison premises.
The hearing was previously scheduled for December 3, but the absence of the defense counsel on that date led the court to postpone proceedings to January 2 upon the prosecution's request. Today’s session will determine the next steps in the high-profile case.
Defense lawyer Rabindranath Ghosh, who represents Chinmoy Krishna Das, is currently in India. Speculations abound regarding his return, as no clear timeline has been established. This has added an air of uncertainty to the defense's preparation for the case.
Chinmoy Krishna Das is expected to be brought to court this morning under heavy police protection. Authorities have taken stringent measures to avoid a repeat of the violent clashes that occurred on November 26, when he was last presented in court. The earlier incident involved a confrontation between law enforcement and Chinmoy’s followers, resulting in the death of Advocate Alif.
Given the heightened tension surrounding the case, law enforcement agencies have fortified security measures at key points around the court to ensure a peaceful hearing.
