An individual files case against Iresh Zaker, not sate: Adviser 

Cultural Affairs Adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki has said that an individual has filed the case against Iresh Zaker. This is not a case filed by the state or the government.

“Now, everyone has gained the freedom to file cases. Some people are misusing this. I believe the police will properly investigate this, stand with what is true, and dismiss what is false,” he added. 

The adviser said this while talking to newsmen at the Secretariat on Monday (28 April).

“Now I am part of the government, not an activist. I need to speak less and work more. I know Iresh Zaker personally. I know he was also involved in the July movement. So this is deeply troubling,” he said.

A case has been filed against actor Iresh Zaker and 407 others, including former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, with allegations of killing Mahfuz Alam Shraban in the capital's Mirpur area during the July uprising.
