The High Court (HC) yesterday granted anticipatory bail to BRAC University teacher and columnist Afsan Chowdhury in a case lodged under section 57 of the ICT act, reports BSS. A High Court vacation bench comprising Justice Zinat Ara and Justice S.M. Mozibur Rahman passed the order, asking Chowdhury to surrender before trial court within the time. Lt Gen (retd) Masud Uddin Chowdhury filed the case recently with Gulshan Police Station against Chowdhury for allegedly spreading false information about the former army officer on Facebook. Our Habiganj correspondent adds: A Habiganj court yesterday sent Dainik Habiganj Somachar editor and president of Habiganj Press Club Golam Mostafa to jail in connection with a case filed by Habiganj parliament member Abdul Majid Khan against him under section 57 of the Information and Communication Technology Act. Police arrested him in the early hour of yesterday from the newspaper office following a case filed by the MP for releasing a report stating that a total of 80 ruling MPs might be dropped from the nomination list for the up coming election where the name of MP Abdul Majid Khan was included. After arresting him, police produced him in Habiganj court. But, the court ordered to send him in jail after rejecting his bail prayer.
