Salman Muqtadir answers home minister’s ‘questions’ following vandalism at studio

Salman Muqtadir has responded to Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed’s questions concerning the looting and vandalism at the content creator's studio at ECB chattar in Dhaka.

After the attack, Muqtadir categorically blamed allies of the ruling BNP for the attack, prompting the home minister to question why he had not filed a lawsuit after the incident.

In a social media video message, Muqtadir responded to the question.

He said that he went to the Cantonment Police Station with a "big group" to file a lawsuit over the attack. However, till 4am on Sunday, the police declined to accept the case, prompting him to return home in a "state of tiredness," Salman Muqtadir alleged. He also claimed that he felt "amazed" at the home minister’s question.

The police accepted the lawsuit application only after Salahuddin decided to address reporters over the attack, and Salman Muqtadir’s allegation against the ruling party, the content creator said in a Facebook video.

In the video, Muqtadir added a counter question, asking the home minister to explain why police accepted the lawsuit application only after the minister had issued a public statement.
