Teen held for posting PM's doctored photo on Facebook

Local Awami League activists today handed over a teenage boy to police in Rajshahi for posting derogatory comments and a doctored photo involving Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The detainee, Belal Uddin, 18, son of Alfaz Uddin of the upazila’s Bagmarapara area, is a student of Mollahpara Hashemul Ulum Islamia Qawmi Madrasa, reports our Rajshahi correspondent.

Local Awami League men traced him after he posted a doctored photo of the prime minister recently. Though he later deleted the post, AL leaders and activists detained him and handed him over to Tanore Police Station, said Abdus Sabur, officer-in-charge (investigation) of the station.

The upazila unit Juba League General Secretary Jubayer Islam filed a case under the Information and Communication Technology Act, the OC added.
