Iskcon has remained in the headlines since the arrest of its former member Chinmoy Krishna Das last week on sedition charges in Bangladesh. The religious organisation’s spokesperson in Kolkata has claimed at least three other Hindu monks have been arrested by the Bangladesh police.

Bangladesh border authorities said they received instructions from higher authorities to deny entry to 54 members of the Hindu spiritual organization Iskcon into India.

The authorities cited "suspicious travel" as the reason for their refusal, although the ISKCON monks were not provided with clear explanations.

On Friday, a Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson said India has conveyed its concern over the attacks on Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh and pressed for a “fair and transparent trial” for Chinmoy Krishna Das.
