Hindu students of Jahangirnagar University (JU) have blocked the Dhaka-Aricha Highway demanding release of Chinmoy Krishna Das.
They formed a human chain at Shaheed Minar at 4:30 pm on Tuesday and later blocked the Dhaka-Aricha Highway from 4:45 pm to 5:00 pm, demanding an unconditional release of Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, a former leader of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
Sukanta Barman, a 50th batch student of the university's Institute of Information Technology, said minority communities across the country are facing attacks after the mass uprising.
Meanwhile, another group of students in a protest rally called for a ban on ISKCON in Bangladesh over a lawyer's death in a clash in Chattogram.
They staged a demonstration in the Bot-tola area at 8:00 pm, condemning the attack on the court. They demanded an immediate investigation into the lawyer's death.
