A Jagannath University student has been placed on two-day remand over a Facebook post that allegedly demeans religion.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Debabrata Biswas placed him on remand after hearing today in a case filed under Digital Security Act.

Police arrested Forhad, a Bangla department student, from the Shakhari Bazar in Old Dhaka over the case this morning.

On April 8, Md Nur-e-Alam, a law department student of the university, filed the case against Forhad with Kotwali police for a post dated April 4.
