Take legal action if anyone uses photos with me for illegal advantages : Asif Nazrul
The law adviser asked all to hand those who are involved in such misdeeds to police and file cases against them
Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul today (28 September) asked all concerned to take legal action if anyone tries to do lobbying and to extort money using photos taken with him at different programmes.
"Many people made requests to take snaps with me before and after I joined the government. Many people took photos [with me]. Now I have learnt from several persons, some people have been trying to take illegal advantages by showing those photos [with them] while some others are trying to extort money. I have heard these. But I don't know whether these are true or false. I strongly condemn these," he said in a video-message.
The law adviser asked all to hand those who are involved in such misdeeds to police and file cases against them.
"Send the copies of the cases to my facebook [account] and the pages of my friends. I will try to take action against it. Anyone of the government or me in no way will tolerate any illegal work. I am issuing tough warning to them who have been doing such crimes. Don't do any injustice to the people of Bangladesh," he said.
He continued; "Don't use the name any of us . . . refrain from taking extortions and giving threats in the names of us, proper legal action will be taken against it."
