Police arrested blogger Asif Mohiuddin at Segunbagicha in the capital on Wednesday, a day after three others were held  for posting “derogatory comments about Islam and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)” on the Internet.
A team of Detective Branch (DB) of police picked up Mohiuddin around 2:00pm, said Masudur Rahman, deputy commissioner (public relation) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police.
The arrest came amid strong criticism over the government role, which many termed as “submissive”, following some radical Islamist organisations’ threat of unleashing anarchy if “atheist bloggers are not hanged”.
Many think the arrest would add further to the growing frustration of the youths and online activists, who have been agitating since February 5 demanding death penalty of war criminals, over the government role.
