‘Misleading info’ on Chief Whip Moni lands content creator in jail

He is also accused of blackmailing the chief whip

Content creator AM Hasan Nasim has been sent to jail in a case filed on charges of spreading misleading information about Chief Whip Nurul Islam Moni and blackmailing him.

Dhaka’s Metropolitan Magistrate Hasib Ullah Pias passed the order on Saturday, said Prosecution Police Sub-Inspector Moktar Hossain.

Nasim was arrested in West Agargaon around 8pm on Friday.

A man identifying himself as Nurul Islam filed the case under the Cyber Security Ordinance-2025.

The investigating officer produced Nasim before the court, seeking seven days to interrogate him in police custody.

The court fixed Sunday to hear the remand plea after rejecting the bail petition moved by the defence lawyer.

According to the case dossier, a post was made on Facebook about the chief whip.

From that Facebook ID, “misleading information” was published and circulated at different times, it reads, adding that the suspect “blackmailed” the chief whip by sending screenshots to his WhatsApp number.
