Sued Under DSA: Journo Kajol’s case moved to cyber tribunal
A case filed under the Digital Security Act (DSA) against photojournalist Shafiqul Islam Kajol was yesterday transferred to Dhaka Cyber Tribunal for trial.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate AM Zulfikar Hayat passed the order after scrutinising the case dockets and other relevant documents in the case.
The case was filed over "circulating indecent, defamatory, objectionable and fake information" on some ministers, lawmakers and top Jubo Mahila League leaders on Facebook.
On February 4, Mohammad Russell Mollah, sub-inspector of Detective Branch of police and also the investigation officer, submitted the charge sheet with Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka in the case.
Usmin Ara Bally, a member of the central committee of Bangladesh Jubo Mahila League, filed the case with Hazaribagh Police Station on March 10 last year.
However, investigators are yet to submit the probe reports in two other cases filed against Kajol with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar and Kamrangirchar police stations. These two cases were also recorded under the DSA in March last year.
