He filed the case with the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate on Monday.
The court took the statement of the plaintiff and directed the Detective Branch of Police to investigate the allegations and submit a report, said Hero Alam's lawyer Abdullah Munsur Ripon.
Earlier on Sunday, Hero Alam said he visited the DB office to lodge a complaint against the BNP leader but the DB chief advised me to file a case with the court.
