The incident will be looked into and action will be taken as per law, said police.
An audio clip of Mayor Abbas Ali, in his second term as mayor, went viral on social media where he has heard saying he would stop the construction of Bangaandhu's mural as it is against Islamic law.
Denying such allegations, Mayor Abbas Ali said the audio clip has been edited to frame him.
