Jahangir Alam, 43, was arrested after posting on Facebook about the quota system for freedom fighters in Bangladesh, which sparked widespread controversy. The arrest followed a complaint from a local freedom fighter leader under the Cyber Security Act. Md Dulal Hossain, the Hakimpur police station OC, confirmed Jahangir's arrest from his residence.

Jahangir is expected to face judicial proceedings soon.
