Police reported multiple clashes early Saturday between members of ISKCON and local Hindus in the Nandankanan area of Chattogram city. The confrontation began around 4 a.m. following allegations that ISKCON attempted to seize land and a temple belonging to the local Hindu community. At least four people were injured, and one person was detained. A temple room and electrical equipment were damaged during the incident. Police deployed additional forces to restore order, and the situation is now under control.
According to local sources, the dispute centers on khas land adjacent to the Loknath Temple, which both ISKCON and local Hindus claim. Locals accuse ISKCON of gradually trying to take control of the temple and surrounding land, while ISKCON has faced similar allegations in the past regarding illegal land occupation and unauthorized fundraising. Police have urged both sides to remain calm and stated that legal steps will be taken after hearing all parties.
Authorities said patrols continue in the area to maintain peace, and the administration will work toward a permanent resolution of the dispute.
