With attacks on minorities, especially Hindus continuing some are trying to flee to India in desperation to escape Islamic radicals in Bangladesh. Even Chinmoy Krishna Das's lawyer, Rabindra Ghosh, a senior lawyer in the Bangladesh Supreme Court and human rights activist, was manhandled and threatened when he went to Chittagong and submitted the pleas in the court for jailed Hindu monk, Chinmoy Krishna Das.
