Prothom Alo's freelance cartoonist Arifur Rahman was sent to jail with a pending proposal for one-month detention, a day after he was arrested on charges of hurting religious sensibilities with a cartoon story, reports bdnews24.com.
Metropolitan Magistrate Abdul Fattah issued the order sending him to Dhaka Central Jail, after Sub-inspector Ali Noor presented the case to court. No lawyer was seen defending him in court.
