A Dhaka tribunal today accepted charges against two people including 'Shishu Bokta' Rafiqul Islam Madani, in a case filed under the Digital Security Act for delivering ‘anti-state and provocative’ speeches. The other accused is Mahmudul Hasan Murtuza.

Dhaka Cyber Tribunal Judge Ash Shams Jaglul Hossain took the charges into cognisance.

The court also fixed February 22 for hearing on charge framing in the case, said the tribunal's counsel Shamim Al Mamun.

After hearing both sides, the court rejected Rafiqul's bail plea, who is currently in jail, and granted permanent bail to Mahmudul.

On January 26, a Dhaka court framed charges against Rafiqul Islam Madani in this case.

RAB members arrested Rafiqul from his home in Netrakona on April 7 last year on charges of making anti-state and provocative remarks and creating chaos.
