A local Jubo League leader was sued under the section 57 of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Act for his alleged indecent comments against an independent lawmaker in Pirojpur.

Shafikul Islam, a follower of Pirojpur-3 constituency lawmaker Rustom Ali Farazi, today filed the case with Mathbaria Police Station against Bashir Hossain, joint general secretary of Betmore Rajpara union unit of Jubo League, reports our local correspondent reports.

Quoting the case statement, Mathbaria Police Station Officer-in-Charge KM Tarikul Islam said Bashir made an indecent comment on his Facebook account that tainted political and personal image of the lawmaker.

Earlier on July 6, a similar case was filed with the same police station against Ajmol Haque Helal, senior reporter of daily Shokaler Khabor and local Jubo League man Nurul Amin for their indecent comments in the social media platform against Farazi.
