A case was filed with a tribunal here on Tuesday against journalist Anis Alamgir under Section 57 of the ICT Act for his ‘derogatory’ comments about Hindu goddess Saraswati.
Sushanta Kumar Boss, a lawyer, filed the case with the Cyber Tribunal at noon.
Judge M Saiful Islam of the tribunal ordered the Dhanmondi Police Station to record the complaint as FIR.
In his complaint, Sushanta alleged that Anis Alamgir in a Facebook post on January 22 described Saraswati as a symbol of sex in a bid to spread religious hatred and communal provocation, and create an unstable situation.
