The Crime Desk: Assistant Commissioner Tapsi Tabassum Urmi, who was temporarily suspended in a defamation case filed for making negative comments about martyr Abu Sayeed and other martyrs in the anti-discrimination movement, has surrendered to the court and applied for bail.
On Thursday (November 28) morning, she filed this application through her lawyer in the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md. Imran Ahmed.
Earlier, on October 8, Abu Hanif, a member of the Higher Council of the People’s Rights Council and media coordinator, filed a case against her in the Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court. After recording the plaintiff’s statement on that day, the court issued a summons to the accused to appear in court by November 28.
In the complaint, the plaintiff mentioned that on October 5, the accused Tapasi Tabassum Urmi wrote derogatory statements on Facebook not only against Shaheed Abu Sayeed but also against the government established through the student-mass movement and the head of the government, Nobel laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus, despite holding a responsible position in the government.
Through which, a head of government formed in accordance with the constitution based on the reference of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court has been discredited, and fear has been created in the public mind by threatening to overthrow the government.
