AUNG CHING MONG MARMA,
a student of Notre Dame College in Dhaka, was arrested on Tuesday night from
Kaptai for ‘hurting Muslim religious sentiment’.
The arrest was made
after Muslims held demonstrations and blocked roads in Kaptai in protest at
what they said was the posting of two pictures on Aung’s Facebook ID defaming
Islam and its scripture, the Quran.
A case was filed
against him under section 57 of the Information Technology Act. [case No.

The 17-year-old son of
Chailapru Marma is a second year student of Notre
Dame College in Dhaka and a resident of Boroichari, Kaptai.
After arrest, Aung
told the police that he has four IDs in different names, that one of them had
recently been hacked and that the blasphemous pictures were posted from that
hacked ID.
The Rangamati Deputy
Commissioner, Mostafa Kamal, urged people not to give in to incitement and
said, ‘If he is found guilty, he will be punished according to the law and if
not, he will be free.’
