A Dhaka court has recently issued an arrest warrant against popular content creator Iftekhar Rafsan, also known as Rafsan The ChotoBhai, over allegations of marketing an uncertified electrolyte drink named 'BLU'.
Dhaka Pure Food Court Judge Alaul Akbar passed the order on 4 June following an application by the Food Safety Inspector Mohammad Kamrul Hasan.
On 24 April, the Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI) imposed a Tk30,000 fine during a raid at the DrinkBlu Beverage factory in Cumilla for not having a product packaging certificate and manufacturing the drink in unsanitary conditions.
