A case has been filed over a clash involving police and followers of Chinmoy Krishna Brahmachari on the court premises in Chittagong. Enamul Haque, a businessman and activist of Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh, lodged the complaint in the court of Chittagong Metropolitan Magistrate Md Abu Bakar Siddique on Sunday morning, December 9.
According to the plaintiff’s lawyer, Advocate Md Shamsul Alam, the court recorded Haque’s statement and is awaiting an order.
The case names Chinmoy Krishna Brahmachari as the prime accused, along with 164 identified individuals and an estimated 400 to 500 unidentified people.
In the case petition, Enamul Haque stated that on November 26, while returning home after completing land registry work at the court, he was allegedly attacked by followers of Chinmoy Krishna Brahmachari. Haque claimed he was targeted for wearing a panjabi and a cap, which resulted in injuries to his right hand and head.
He was rescued by bystanders and admitted to Chittagong Medical College Hospital. Haque explained that the delay in filing the case was due to his prolonged recovery from the injuries sustained during the attack.
Advocate Md Shamsul Alam said: “Enamul Haque was assaulted on November 26 on the court premises by followers of Chinmoy Krishna Brahmachari. His right hand was fractured, and he sustained head injuries. The case names 164 individuals, with Chinmoy Krishna as the principal accused. The court has recorded the plaintiff’s statement, and the case is now pending for an order.”
This incident follows a series of clashes linked to the imprisonment of Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, spokesperson of the Bangladesh Sommilito Sanatani Jagaran Jote.
Previously, on November 27, police filed three related cases at Kotwali Police Station, naming numerous individuals and hundreds of unidentified persons for obstructing and attacking law enforcement officers.
Separately, another case was filed by a businessman on Tuesday, alleging an assault near Rangam Cinema Hall on November 26. That complaint names 29 individuals, including members of political organizations and ISKCON, alongside 40 to 50 unidentified persons.
