Dhaka, Oct 23 (Just News): Former caretaker government adviser barrister Mainul Hosein, arrested in a defamation case filed in Rangpur, has been sent to court.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Detective Branch (DB) Joint Commissioner Mahbub Alam said that the court will decide what to do with him.
Mainul, a former MP, had hurled verbal slurs at journalist Masuda Bhatti during a talk show that aired on October 16 on private channel Ekattor TV.
He has since been named in seven defamation cases in: Dhaka, Jamalpur, Kurigram, Brahmanbaria, Bhola, Comilla, and Rangpur.
He was arrested on Monday night hours after human rights activist Mili Maya filed a defamation case with a Rangpur court.
The court ordered Mainul’s arrest after recording the plaintiff’s statement.
