ISKCON's statement disassociating itself from Chinmoy Krishna Das came after it faced ban calls in Bangladesh.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s statement came after the arrest and denial of bail to Hindu spiritual leader Chinmoy Krishna Das in Bangladesh.

The High Court here on Thursday refused to pass a suo motu order on banning ISKCON’s activities in Bangladesh after it was informed that the government authorities have taken necessary measures, The Daily Star said.

A case has been filed against Chinmoy Krishna Das on charges of sedition, accusing him of raising a flag on a stand displaying Bangladesh's national flag. Hindu leaders across Bangladesh are outraged over the arrest and are demanding release of the ISKCON priest on immediate basis.

Massive outrage erupted following the arrest of a Hindu priest as Bangladesh declared intentions to ban ISKCON.

The Bangladesh high court has asked the government to take immediate measures to address the situation, which has raised concerns over the safety of Hindus.
