Two brothers sent to jail in case under DSA

Two siblings were sent to jail after they were arrested by police in a case filed under Digital Security Act (DSA) at Satkania upazila of Chattogram yesterday.

The arrestees are Md Towhidul Islam (27) and Hafez Mohammed Shahdat Hossain (22) of Sonakania union under Satkania.

They were held after Satkania municipality unit Chhatra League leader Abul Kalam Azad lodged a written complaint with the police station, said Officer-in-Charge Anwar Hossain of Satkania Police Station.

"The siblings use four Facebook accounts and from the accounts, they used to post and share anti-government posts mentioning the prime minister, Jubo League and Chhatra League. Getting a complaint, police arrested them and seized their phones on Sunday night."

"Police found the truth of posting offensive remarks against the prime minister after searching their phones," he added.

They were produced before a court, which sent them to jail.
