Kalapara Mayor Bipul Halder organised an event titled 'Mayor Night' at the Shaheed Minar on Thursday. 
A probe committee was formed after allegations of 'inappropriate dances’ were raised, Upazila Nirbahi Officer Tanvir Rahman said.  
 
"A girl performed a dance to a Hindi song at the event which sparked widespread outrage on social media." 
 
A three-member panel was subsequently formed under the instructions of the district administration. It has been given until Apr 23 to submit a report, the UNO added.
