Masud Uddin Chowdhury, a retired lieutenant general, accused him in a case filed under Section 57 of the ICT Act on Monday, said Gulshan Police Inspector Salauddin Miah.
The BRAC University teacher has been accused of making false statements. He regularly appears on TV talk shows apart from writing in newspapers.
Afsan was recently served a legal notice by a Supreme Court lawyer who accused him of defaming the judiciary in another Facebook post.
Masud is the brother-in-law to Sayeed Iskander, the late younger brother of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia.
He was GOC of the ninth infantry division during the tenure of an army-backed caretaker government. He was later promoted and sent abroad on a diplomatic mission.
After serving more than six years as Bangladesh’s envoy to Australia, he opened Picasso restaurant in Dhaka.
“I’ve filed a complaint with police. So I don’t want to comment on it,” he told bdnews24.com.
