According to media reports on Friday, Bangladesh’s financial authorities have ordered to freeze for 30 days the bank accounts of 17 people associated with ISKCON, including its former member Chinmoy Krishna Das.

Bangladesh Bank’s Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) on Thursday sent instructions to various banks and financial institutions suspending all transactions in these accounts for a month, Prothom Alo newspaper reported.

BFIU asked banks and financial institutions to send account-related information including updated transaction details of all accounts of all types of businesses owned by these 17 individuals within the next three working days.

Das, spokesperson of Bangladesh Samitha Sanatani Jagran Jote, was arrested from Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Monday in a sedition case. On Tuesday, a Chittagong court refused to grant him bail and sent him to jail. A lawyer was killed in a clash between security personnel and supporters of a Hindu leader. Das was a former spokesperson of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in Bangladesh.
