A Dhaka court has issued an arrest warrant against former State Minister for Information Dr. Murad Hasan in a defamation case filed over derogatory remarks against BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman and the Zia family.
Lawyer Md. Moniruzzaman, representing the plaintiff, said the case was filed in 2024 by one Rumel Sarkar. Following investigation, the court found preliminary evidence supporting the allegations and issued a summons for Dr. Murad Hasan. However, as he failed to appear in court on the scheduled date, the judge ordered an arrest warrant against him.
