Dhaka -- A man who allegedly defamed Islam and the Prophet Muhammad on social media a year ago has been arrested and denied bail in Bangladesh, officials said.

Asaduzzaman Noor, a native of southern Barguna district, was arrested Monday night at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka, they said.

“The immigration police last night arrested him while he was planning to fly out of Bangladesh. They handed him over to us and we produced him before court today,” Ruhul Amin Sagar, an assistant commissioner in charge of the airport police station, told BenarNews.
