Krishna Priya Nitai Das, the priest of Radharaman Temple (Iskcon Uttara), said he did not know of any incident of attack on any Iskcon devotees or members in the Uttara area.
Hrishikesh Gouranga Das, the central leader of Bangladesh Iskcon, said, "An attempt is being made to give a communal shape to a recent family incident in Uttara. The youth involved in family matters is not an Iskcon member."
