High Court bans 'Faraj' promotion online

The High Court has banned the showing of Bollywood movie 'Faraj' on all kinds of online platforms based on the context of the terrorist attack on Holy Artisan Bakery in Gulshan of the capital on July 1, 2016.

Monday (February 20) Justice Md. Khasruzzaman and Justice Md. Iqbal Kabir's High Court bench gave this order. Lawyer Ahsanul Karim confirmed the order to Dhaka Mail.

Earlier, on February 12, Ruba Ahmed, the mother of Abinta Kabir, who was killed in the Holi Artizan incident, filed a writ in the High Court seeking a direction not to release the Indian movie 'Faraj' in any cinema halls and online platforms in Bangladesh.

Mumbai's Hansal Mehta has made a film named Faraz about the brutal attack on the Holy Artisan in Dhaka. The film releases on February 3. The movie is produced by Anubhav Sinha and Bhushan Kumar.
