The case filed against former superintendent of police (SP) Babul Akhter, and three others under the Digital Security Act (DSA) was transferred to the Dhaka Cyber Tribunal today (May 11) for its trial.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Asekh Imam passed the order.

Earlier on April 27, a Dhaka court set May 11 to pass its order on whether to accept charge-sheet filed against ex-SP Babul Akter and three others in a case filed by Police Bureau of Investigation chief under the DSA.

Investigation officer and Dhanmandi Police Station inspector (operation) filed the charge-sheet against 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 DSA 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.
