A 27-year-old Bangladeshi Islamic preacher has again been apprehended by the police, this time under the Digital Security Act (DSA) for allegedly making an ''anti-state speech'' and inciting disorder, according to media reports on Thursday.
Madani, popularly known as ''shishu bokta'' (child preacher), has been sued under the Digital Security Act (DSA) for allegedly making anti-state statements, as well as for instigating unrest, The Dhaka Tribune reported. This is the second time in less than a month that Madani has been arrested. On March 25, the police apprehended Madani, along with 30 others, from Motijheel thana in Dhaka district for protesting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit here. On that occasion, Madani was released from custody within a few hours.
