Trial begins against suspended magistrate Urmi in defamation case

Published : Tuesday, 4 February, 2025 at 1:02 PM  Count : 6043


A Dhaka court on Tuesday ordered to frame charges against Tapasi Tabassum Urmi, the assistant commissioner suspended over comments about the government, in a defamation case.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Sefayetullah issued this order dismissing the acquittal petition for her submitted by Urmi's lawyer.

Meanwhile, the plaintiff's lawyer Khademul Islam pleaded to start the trial through charge frame.
Tabassum Urmi, now on bail, was present physically in the magistrate court.

She pleaded not guilty and demanded justice after magistrate Md Sefatullah read out the charges to her.

On January 26, Urmi secured bail in the case.

On October 8, Abu Hanif, a member of the higher council of Gono Adhikar Parishad, filed the case against Urmi with the court, stating she made 'derogatory remarks' about Abu Sayed, student of Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur and also a coordinator of the quota reform movement, who was killed in police firing during quota reform protests on July 16, and the interim government and Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus.

On October 5, Urmi wrote on Facebook that the interim government has no constitutional basis.
