The police on Saturday arrested a man for issuing death threats against the chief adviser of the interim government, the chief justice and the army chief through a video posted on social media.
The arrested, Alamgir, was detained at Jafatnagar under Fatikchari in Chattogram, said Fatikchari police station officer-in-charge Nur Ahmed.
‘Police arrested him after a video went viral on social media, where he was seen brandishing a blood-stained knife and threatening to kill the chief adviser along with other key state officials,’ said the OC.
In the video, Alamgir is seen holding a blood-stained knife and issuing threats to the chief adviser, chief justice, and army chief using abusive language. The video sparked public outrage after circulating widely on social media.
The accused has been sent to court, the OC added.
