Detectives have detained a Bangabhaban official in connection with his alleged involvement in hacking the X account of Jamaat-e-Islami chief Shafiqur Rahman early Wednesday.


The detainee was identified as Mohammad Sarwar Alam, an assistant programmer (ICT) at Bangabhaban.

Additional Commissioner (DB) Shafiqul Islam said a team of DB police conducted a drive in Rajarbagh area and detained Sarwar late at night.

He is now being interrogated at the DB office, Shafiqul added.

Earlier on Saturday, a post from Jamaat Ameer Shafiqur Rahman’s verified account was found circulating on social media, drawing widespread criticism for its reported anti-women statement.

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, however, claimed that the account had been hacked. A general diary was then lodged in this connection, reports UNB.
