The High Court today (Feb 3) directed authorities concerned to remove the video of businessman Abu Mohasin Khan, who killed himself on Facebook live, from online platforms and social media within six hours. A division bench of justices Farah Mahbub and SM Moniruzzaman also barred all TV channels from airing the video,

during a virtual hearing. The court also sought a report on the matter from the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission by February 9. The court's direction came in the wake of senior Supreme Court advocate AKM Faiz bringing the matter to its notice this morning.

On Wednesday night, Abu Mohsin Khan, 58, father-in-law of actor Riaz, live-streamed his suicide on Facebook as he shot himself in the head. The businessman talked about his loneliness and several other miseries of his life before pulling the trigger.

Mohsin was suffering from cancer since 2017. Besides, he incurred loss in his businesses. Dhanmondi police station officer-in-charge Ikram Ali Mia told the media that Abu Mohsin used his own licensed gun to commit suicide at his residence in Dhaka.
