Sedition case against Tarique Rahman dismissed

The High Court has dismissed a Sedition case filed against BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman at Tejgaon Police Station in Dhaka.

The court issued the order to dismiss the case on Thursday, October 31.

On January 8, 2015, a case was filed at Tejgaon Police Station against Tarique Rahman and Ekushey Television Chairman Abdus Salam, alleging they colluded to spread false and misleading information, posing a threat to Bangladesh's independence and sovereignty.

Earlier, Tarique Rahman was acquitted in another treason case filed against him in Noakhali. On August 21, after reviewing the evidence and finding none, the court acquitted him of that case as well.
