Ashraful Hossain Alam, popularly known as Hero Alom, last night (July 24) filed a general diary (GD) with Hatirjheel Police Station after he allegedly received a death threat over the phone.

Hero Alom, a contestant of the recently concluded Dhaka-17 by-election, said he received the threat around 10:30 pm.

Talking to journalists in front of the police station, Hero Alom said the caller threatened him for taking steps against the attackers.

“The caller said he will teach me a lesson within seven days," said Hero Alom.

Hatirjheel Police Station SI Abdul Quadir said the GD was filled around 11:30pm.

On election day, Hero Alam was attacked during the voting of Dhaka-17 by-polls by ruling party activists.

Later, he filed a case with the Banani Police Station accusing at least 20 unnamed persons for the attack. On July 22, the case was later transferred to DB.

So far, 15 people were arrested in the case.
