ISKCON distances itself from Das, who, it says, was expelled from religious organisation earlier. He was arrested on charges of dishonouring Bangladesh's national flag.

The Dhaka High Court's refusal to ban ISKCON amidst rising religious tensions and protests over the arrest of a former priest highlights the delicate balance between national security and religious freedoms in Bangladesh.

The organisation said it is outrageous to make baseless allegations that ISKCON has anything to do with terrorism anywhere in the world.
