A Rangpur BCL leader today filed a case against four expatriates under the Digital Security Act (DSA) on allegations of defaming Bangladesh Chhatra League and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Sheikh Asif Hossain, general secretary of the Rangpur metropolitan Chhatra League, filed the DSA case with Rangpur Cyber Tribunal this afternoon, reports our Dinajpur correspondent.

The accused are Mostafizar Rahman Tito, Najmus Shakib, Anis Mia, and Ibrahim Ali. They are expatriates living in Canada and US.
