Hindu monk Chinmoy Brahmachari arrested in Bangladesh after leading minority rights protest

Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari was arrested in Dhaka, Bangladesh, amid rising tensions over minority rights. His detention follows protests by the Hindu community demanding better legal protections and a dedicated ministry for minority affairs. Brahmachari was reportedly taken into custody at Dhaka airport after sedition charges were filed against him for his criticism of violence targeting Hindus. His arrest comes as the interim government faces backlash for failing to address increasing violence against religious minorities. The new military-backed government, led by Mohammed Yunus, has been criticized for its handling of minority rights. Despite claims of improved security during religious festivals, activists argue that the government's efforts are insufficient to protect vulnerable communities.
