Another bond appeal refuted
The court denied a previous bond demand made when Prabhu really did not have lawful depiction.
After one of the most current rejection, Prabhu’s attorney Apurba Kumar Bhattacharjee claimed they would certainly appeal the choice.
Meanwhile, public district attorney claimed his workplace thought the monk can “misuse his bail” if launched from safekeeping.
“We argued in the court that if he gets bail it could create anarchy as we saw in the past that he triggered violence on the court premises by calling thousands of his supporters to protest,” Public Prosecutor Mofizul Haque Bhuiyan informed the AP information company by phone.
Prabhu really did not show up at the court. Violence burst out after a previous bond hearing, with his fans charged of eliminating a public district attorney throughout the clash.
India-Bangladesh connections curdle
Religious stress in Muslim- bulk Bangladesh have actually been high given that student-led demonstrations ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in August 2024.
New Delhi’s Hindu nationalist federal government was a strong ally of Hasina, and the seasoned leader has actually been concealing in India given that leaving Bangladesh.
Her separation has actually left a power vacuum cleaner that the brand-new short-term federal government is having a hard time to fill up. Hindu teams affirm there have actually been countless assaults versus Hindus after Hasina’s federal government was toppled.
Bangladesh’s acting federal government led by Muhammad Yunus has actually minimized those cases, calling records of the assaults overemphasized.
