Haridas Chandra Tarani Das, who initiated the 81-foot Lord Ram idol project in Gaibandha, Bangladesh, has been taken into custody. Work on the statue had previously been halted due to reported threats from Islamist organizations. Authorities arrested Das on accusations of money laundering linked to questionable financial dealings totaling ₹6.8 crore. This development has further heightened anxieties regarding religious liberty among the Hindu minority in Bangladesh.
