—Police have arrested recording label Soundtek's owner Sultan Mahmud Babul in a case filed by popular singer Mahfuz Anam James involving ownership rights of his album 'Dukhini Dukkho Korona'.
Babul was arrested at his Shaheedbagh residence, just beside Razarbagh Police Lines in the city, in the early hours of Friday.
Incidentally, the arrest came minutes after conclusion of a Victory Day programme in the police lines, organised by Dhaka Metropolitan Police with a performance by James.
Bangshal Police Station's sub-inspector Abul Khayer told that James filed the case on Wednesday, alleging that the label owner had cheated him.
According to the complaint, James had signed a deal with Soundtek when the album was released in 1997, which gave him ownership to the recording label, the police official said. The deal was being renewed every year, he said.
But James complained that Soundtek renewed the deal recently by duplicating his signature, which meant a loss of a whopping Tk 30 million for him, according to SI Khayer.
The police official said Babul has admitted that the deal was not renewed.
The owner of Soundtek, one of the largest recording labels in Bangladesh, however, denied the allegation of duplicating James's signature, Khayer added.
