A court in Lakshmipur has ordered the interrogation of National Citizen Party (NCP) leader Anwar Hossain at the jail gate in connection with a case over spreading defamatory remarks about the Prime Minister on Facebook. The court also granted bail to his brother Imam Hossain on condition of submitting his passport. The order was issued on Thursday, June 4, by Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Rezaul Haque.
According to the Assistant Public Prosecutor Abdul Ahad Shakil Patwari, the investigating officer, Sub-Inspector Mahbub Alam of Raipur Police Station, had sought a five-day remand for the accused. The court allowed one day of jail-gate interrogation for Anwar under the Penal Code and Cyber Security Act. The case was filed by Ruhul Amin, general secretary of Sonapur Union Jubo Dal, following allegations that Anwar posted offensive content against several political leaders on Facebook.
The case states that the posts caused public outrage and that Anwar and his associates later attacked Ruhul Amin and witnesses when questioned about the incident. Local residents handed Anwar over to police, and the case was registered on May 31 at Raipur Police Station.
