A violent clash erupted late Friday night in Chattogram’s Nandankanan area between members of ISKCON and local Hindu residents over an alleged land grab. According to reports, ISKCON members confined police officers and attacked residents while attempting to seize land belonging to the Loknath Temple community. At least seven people were injured, and additional police were deployed to control the situation.
Loknath Dham authorities accused ISKCON of using forged documents to occupy nearby property and expand its temple complex. Witnesses said ISKCON members brought in outsiders, cut power and CCTV connections, and vandalized homes. Victims alleged that police failed to intervene promptly. Local leaders claimed ISKCON’s actions were premeditated and aimed at taking control of the entire area.
ISKCON representatives denied the allegations, asserting that the disputed land was legally donated to them decades ago and that Loknath Temple members obstructed their access. Police stated that both sides have been summoned for mediation and that an investigation is underway.
