A Dhaka court today (April 27) set May 11 to pass its order on whether to accept charge-sheet filed against former superintendent of police (SP) Babul Akter and three others in a case filed by Police Bureau of Investigation chief under the Digital Security Act (DSA).

Today was fixed for passing the order, but Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Asheq Imam had to defer the date as the main case documents did not reach the court.

Investigation officer and Dhanmandi Police Station inspector (operation) filed the charge-sheet against ex-SP Babul Akter, Babul's father Md Abdul Wadud, 72, brother Md Habibur Rahman Labu, 45, and expatriate YouTuber Elias Hossain, on April 7.

PBI Chief Banaj Kumar Majumder filed the case under digital security act and special powers act with capital's Dhanmandi Police Station on September 27, 2022. The PBI Chief in his case brought allegations of spreading false and untrue information to tarnish his and the police unit's image against the four.
