Law, Justice, and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anisul Huq said today law enforcement forces can't arrest a person without a warrant except for cognizable offences under the Cyber Security Act (CSA).
"There are only 4 sections of cognizable offences in the Cyber Security Act. No law enforcement agency has the power to arrest without a warrant except for a cognizable offence. The questions being raised are misinterpretations of the Cyber Security Act," the minister said while speaking to journalists after a meeting of the Dakhin Union Awami League in Akhaura Upazila of Brahmanbaria on Friday (15 September).
