Charges accepted against ‘Shishu Bokta’ in DSA case

A Dhaka tribunal yesterday accepted charges against two people, including "Shishu Bokta" Rafiqul Islam Madani, in a case filed under the Digital Security Case.

Judge Mohammad Ash Sams Joglul Hossain of Dhaka Cyber Tribunal passed the order rejecting Madani's bail petition, which claimed he did not make any derogatory remarks on the president and the prime minister.

Madani is in jail since April last year.

The other accused, Mahmudul Hasan Murtuza, was granted permanent bail by the tribunal.

It relieved accused Mohammad Amzad, HM Lokman Hossain and Tawhid Islam of the charges as the investigation officer did not find their involvement in the case.

On April 8 last year, one Syed Adnan Shanto filed the case with Motijheel Police Station.
