Ashraful Alom, popularly known as ‘Hero Alom’, filed a Tk 50 crore defamation case against BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi for making "derogatory remarks" about the YouTuber.
He filed the case with the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate on Monday (August 07, 2023).
The court took the statement of the plaintiff and directed the Detective Branch of Police to investigate the allegations and submit a report, said Hero Alam`s lawyer Abdullah Munsur Ripon.
Earlier on Sunday (August 06, 2023), Hero Alam said he went to the DB office to lodge a complaint against the senior BNP leader but the DB chief advised him to file a case with the court.
BNP leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi reportedly called him "uneducated" while addressing a march recently, Hero Alom said.
On Saturday (August 5, 2023), Hero Alom took to social media to condemn Rizvi’s comments on his “education.”
The social media content creator said: “I do not want to speak against anyone. But this is very sad. I have seen the video of BNP leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi calling me crazy. He has also questioned my educational qualifications.”
“By calling me uneducated, you’re also calling yourself uneducated. Because, the leader of your party, BNP Chairperson and former Prime Minister Khaled Zia, completed education up to class 8. I have studied up to class 7,” Hero Alom added.
