The High Court on Tuesday forbade publication of political novel 'Deyal' without correction by Humayun Ahmed on the assassination of the nation's founding father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and the post-75 developments.
The suo moto ruling by the bench of justices A H M Shamsuddin Chowdhury and Jahangir Hossain came on Tuesday after Attorney General Mahbubey Alam brought to its attention the two sections of the novel published by a Bengali-language daily on May 11.
Alam objected to the depiction of Bangabandhu's youngest son Sheikh Rasel's killing in the two chapters.
The court on its own volition slapped an embargo on the publication of the book without correcting the portrayal.
The Information Secretary and the Education Secretary have been asked to contact the writer over the matter.
Even though Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was mentioned in the famed fiction writer's various writings, this is his first extensive foray into the assassination of the founding president and the post-75 events.
