BNP's Rajshahi district unit convenor Abu Sayeed has been sued for threatening to kill Awami League President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in a speech on May 19.

The case was filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act, 2020, by local Awami League leader Abul Kalam Azad at Puthia police station on Sunday (May 22). 

Faruk Hossain, Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Rajshahi's Puthia Police Station confirmed the matter.
