Charge sheet submitted against ex-DUCSU VP Nur in DSA case

DB Cyber and Special Crime Division has pressed a charge sheet against former Vice President (VP) of Dhaka University Central Students' Union (DUCSU), Nurul Haque Nur in a case filed under the Digital Security Act, 2018, reports BSS.

Inspector Muhammad Saiful Islam of DB Cyber and Special Crime Division, also the investigating officer of the case, has made an application to the court for issuing an arrest warrant against Nur as he is absconding.

SI Shah Alam of Paltan Police Station confirmed the matter to BSS saying that the investigating officer submitted the charge sheet to the Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate's Court on January 31, as his (Nur) crime initially appeared to be true during the investigation. 

"The case has been transferred to the Cyber Tribunal for trial. Further judicial proceedings will be held there," the police official said.

On April 19, 2021, musician Elias Hossain filed a case under the Digital Security Act with the capital's Paltan police station, accusing Nur of hurting religious sentiments by making derogatory comments during a live video on the social media platform Facebook.

According to the charge sheet, he made false, derogatory, and provocative statements against Awami League activists and leaders. 

He attempted to create a stir in the country with the intention to create enmity and spreading hatred among various communities and classes, the case documents said.
