Fact Check: Muslim lawyer killed in Bangladesh was NOT defending Hindu priest Chinmoy Das

India Today  

Bangladesh is once again on edge following the arrest of Hindu priest Chinmoy Krishna Das in a sedition case. One such post read, "Muslim lawyer defending ISKON's Chinmoy Krishna Das killed in Dhaka." India Today Fact Check has found that the lawyer killed in the clash was not defending Chinmoy Das. Tanvir Mahtab Abir, a fact-checker from Bangladesh also shared with us the waqalatnama or the bail application plea of Chinmoy Das, which had the stamp of advocate Subhashis Sharma, a lawyer who practices in the Bangladesh Supreme Court and Chittagong Judges Court. Therefore, it is more than evident that the Muslim lawyer killed on Tuesday in Chittagong was not defending Hindu priest Chinmoy Das.
