Police have sought five-day remand for singer Asif Akbar over a case filed against him under ICT Act.
He was produced to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate court around 11:30am on Wednesday.
A hearing on the remand plea is expected to be held at 1pm.
Earlier on the wee hours of Tuesday, police detectives detained Asif from his office adjacent to the Film Development Corporation (FDC) area.

Special Superintendent of police, Molla Nazrul Islam, said, Asif was arrested in a case filed at the Tejgaon police station by Shafiq Tuhin, a popular singer and composer.

The case statement alleges that through an investigative programme, ‘Searchlight’, aired around 9pm on Jun 1 at Channel 24, Shafiq Tuhin came to know that Asif Akbar, without prior permission, sold 617 songs – written composed and sung by various lyricists and artists, including him (Shafiq).
The case statement also states, as the Chairman of ARB Entertainment, Asif Akbar earned a huge amount of money through various illegal commercial uses of those songs.
Tuhin further mentioned that several hours after seeing the TV report, he highlighted the alleged unauthorised selling of songs by other artists, in a Facebook post.
In response, Asif Akbar reportedly threatened him using abusive language in a comment thread under his post.
“Moreover, on Jun 2, Asif again used profanity during a Facebook live event at his verified FB page, making indecent and slanderous accusations,” the case statement read.
Saying that he would punish Tuhin, Asif provoked his FB followers to resist Tuhin wherever they met him.
Incited, his followers threatened Tuhin with death threats via social media, the statement alleged.
