Sedition case against former Dhaka police officer

Overview

Rakibul Hasan, the former Officer-in-Charge of the Dhaka Cantonment Police Station, was detained by the Dhaka Metropolitan Police Detective Branch following the viral spread of an audio recording. In the recording, Hasan allegedly made controversial remarks concerning the military, the police force, and the government, including discussions regarding the potential return of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and allegations of corruption in police appointments.

Initially removed from his post for ‘administrative reasons,’ Hasan was subsequently subject to a legal investigation into whether his remarks constituted sedition. Following a seven-day remand, a Dhaka court sent Hasan to prison in connection with the sedition case.
