Abrar Faiyaz, younger brother of Abrar Fahad who was killed by the banned Bangladesh Chhatra League in 2019, filed a general diary over death threats with the Shahbagh police station in the capital on Friday.
Faiyaz, a student at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, filed the case over receiving death threats on social media.
Confirming the matter, Shahbagh police station officer-in-charge Md Khalid Mansur said that Faiyaz filed the case at about 5:00pm against two persons, including former president of Dhaka Metropolitan Bangladesh Chhatra Union Shahriar Ibrahim, for giving him death threats on social media.
‘The Cybercrime Unit will investigate the matter and the police will take action accordingly,’ added the police official.
According to police, Faiyaz posted on his personal Facebook account about the judicial system during the Awami League misrule On May 27.
The post was shared on Facebook by former Chhatra Union’s former leader Shahriar Ibrahim.
He wrote in the caption, ‘Look why the killing of Abrar Fahad, the dog of Jashi (Jamaat-Shibir), was justified.’
In that post, a person named Noaz Hossain Fardin commented, ‘He, too, is on the same way as his brother.’
Meanwhile, the two factions of Chhatra Union in separate statements on Wednesday and Thursday said that Shahriar Ibrahim was not associated with any of the factions.
The statements said that the factions were not responsible for Shahriar’s comment on BUET student Abrara Fahad, who was brutally killed by the banned organization, Bangladesh Chhatra League, in 2019.
