Rab called actor Mamnoon Hasan Emon to its headquarters on Tuesday evening to question him about a leaked phone conversation involving him, actress Mahiya Mahi and the just-former state minister for information Murad Hassan.
The conversation, that reportedly took place two years ago, went viral on social media in past few days leading to Murad’s resignation on Tuesday on the instruction of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
An official of Rab headquarters requesting anonymity told UNB that Emon was called at the headquarters of the elite force.
“He came to the Rab headquarters at around 6:30 pm and he is now being asked over the leaked telephonic conversation,” the officer said.
In the controversial conversation an excited Murad was heard asking Emon and Mahiya to come to his five-star hotel room immediately.
In his talk with the actress, Murad used obscene and abusive language and even threatened her unless she accepts his invitation.
The under-fire junior minister submitted his resignation letter to the Prime Minister on Tuesday showing personal reasons.
