A defamation case was filed with a metropolitan magistrate court in Dhaka on Tuesday against suspended Lalmonirhat deputy commissioner office鈥檚 assistant commissioner Taposhee Tabassum Urmi for making derogatory remarks about slain July movement hero Abu Sayeed.
Gono Adhikar Parishad鈥檚 higher council member Abu Hanif filed the case with the court of metropolitan magistrate Md Zakir Hossain.
Abu Sayeed, an English department student of Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur, was killed in police firing during the students鈥� movement demanding government job quota reform on July 16.
Metropolitan magistrate Md Zakir recorded the statement of the complainant and summoned Taposhee Tabassum Urmi to appear before the court on November 28, said the plaintiff鈥檚 lawyer, Khademul Islam.
The government suspended Urmi on Monday, a day after she was made an officer on special duty amid criticism and protests against her for her remarks on the interim government and Abu Sayeed.
On Saturday, she wrote on her Facebook wall that the interim government had no constitutional basis.
鈥楾he countdown has begun for you, sir,鈥� she wrote, addressing the chief adviser to the interim government, Prof Muhammad Yunus.
She also mentioned slain BRUR student Abu Sayeed as a 鈥榯errorist鈥�.
Abu Sayeed, a coordinator of the anti-quota movement, was killed in police firing when the police and Bangladesh Chhatra League launched attacks on student protesters leading to the mass uprising that ousted the authoritarian regime of Sheikh Hasina on August 5.
