DHAKA, Dec 7, 2021 (BSS) - The High Court (HC) today asked Bangladesh

Telecom Regulatory Commission (BTRC) to remove all the audio-video footages  containing 'derogatory remarks' made by Dr M Murad Hasan, who submitted his resignation from the cabinet today, from different online platforms.

   A High Court division bench comprising Justice M Enayetur Rahim and
Justice Md Mostafizur Rahman passed the suo moto order as Supreme Court
lawyer Barrister Syed Sayedul Haque Suman brought the matter to court's
attention.

   "The court asked the concerned deputy attorney general to inform it by
Wednesday morning the actions taken by the BTRC in this regard," Barrister
Suman told newsmen.

   The lawyer said those offensive clippings cannot remain on the online
platforms as those can leave negative impact on the children and youths.

   Recently, a telephone conversation between Dr Murad, a lawmaker from
Jamalpur-4 constituency, and a movie actor and actress came into light, where
the first was heard hurling abusive words towards them. He was heard
threatening the actress.
