The hearing in the case was set for February 8. Pradeep Das, a Canadian expat who runs a YouTube channel called ‘Hindu Lives Meter’, has been named the number one defendant in the case. And Khokon Saha has become the second defendant.
According to the charge sheet, in two separate YouTube videos on November 23 and December 1, Khokon Saha told Narayanganj Mayor Ivy, led by expat Pradeep Das, that family members, including Badini, Mayor Mahatab Uddin’s grandfather, had been illegally occupying Hindus’ property. Honorable Leader, you are the guardian of our Hindu community, you are our guardian, those who make up the Awami League, do not nominate these occupants. You will not bring them. Mayor Ivy took the Hindu vote. Nia worships Kali with vermilion, Kali bows to her mother. I am trying to unite the Hindu community and tell them that they will not vote for those who consume Debotto’s property. ‘
With all these statements, Mayor Ivy mentioned in the petition: “By hurting religious values and feelings against the spirit of the liberation war, it went viral on YouTube and Facebook with the purpose of creating social instability and communal disturbances and for politicians”.

However, lawyer Khokon Saha, general secretary of the Mahanagar Awami League, told Narayanganj, the defendant in the case: “I said in a live program on a YouTube channel that the Debottar property of Deobhog Lakshmi Narayan Mandir will cost 11 million rupees. ” In fact, the price of a Waqf Debottar mosque, temple or property is priceless. What I have said about the pool of Zeus has touched the minds of a great number of Hindus. I will handle the case legally.
