Rangpur City Corporation mayor filed a case against a journalist under the Digital Security Act for making remarks against him on social media.

RCC Mayor Mostafizar Rahman Mostafa lodged the case with Kotwali Police Station on Saturday night against Ratan Sarkar, Rangpur correspondent of Somoy Television.

Two days ago, Ratan made a Facebook post against the mayor, bringing some allegations against him.

In the post, he said the mayor could buy some dishonest journalists of Rangpur Press Club and try to kill him. Ratan vowed that he would not let anyone indulge in irregularities.

Recently, Ratan was involved in conflict with journalists in Rangpur.

A journalist in Rangpur allegedly beat up Ratan last week. Ratan ran a report against 10 journalists in Rangpur.

The Daily Star tried to reach Ratan for comments but failed.

In the case, the mayor brought allegations that Ratan made the Facebook post against him for interrupting the continuous development of RCC.
