30 Detained After Lawyer Killed In Bangladesh Clashes Over Hindu Priest's Arrest
At least 30 suspects were detained in Bangladesh's Chattogram city for their alleged involvement in the killing of a lawyer and attacking security personnel over the arrest of a prominent Hindu community leader, police said on Wednesday.
Assistant public prosecutor Saiful Islam, who was in his early 30s, was killed on Tuesday during clashes between security personnel and followers of Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, spokesperson for Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagran Jote.
The violence erupted after Chinmoy Das was denied bail and sent to jail by the Chattogram's Sixth Metropolitan Magistrate court in a sedition case.
