An application has been sumiteed to Noakhali police seeking permission to file a sedition case against Nurul Haque Nur, member secretary of Gono Odhikar Parishad.
This comes days after a photo of Nur with Mendi N Safadi, a member of Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, went viral. Detectives said Nur had a meeting with Mendi N Safadi in Dubai.
Safayet Hossain, president of Bangladesh Muktijuddho Mancha's Noakhali district unit, submitted the application at Sudharam Model Police Station on Sunday, Md Anwarul Islam, officer-in-charge of the station confirmed to an English daily.
In the application, the plaintiff mentioned that Nurul Haque Nur and his political party Bangladesh Gono Odhikar Parishad are involved in a conspiracy to overthrow the legitimate government by inciting its leaders and activists and creating hatred within the state.
By doing so, Nur has committed a seditious offence under Sections 124 (a), 120 (a), and 506 of the Penal Code, according to the application.
OC Anwarul said they have received the application. The next course of action will be taken after the investigation, he added.
