A Supreme Court lawyer has issued a legal notice seeking forensic review of the call record of a conversation between college student Musharrat Jahan Munia and Basundhara Group managing director Sayem Sobhan Anvir.

The notice was sent to the home secretary on Monday.

According to the notice, a call record of a conversation between Munia and Sayem has recently been leaked.

The words Sayem Sobhan used during that conversation are quite insulting for any woman.

If the forensic review finds that Sayem Sobhan is the person who used that 'indecent words', then action should be taken against him according to the Digital Security Act (DSA) or the existing law of the country.

Supreme Court lawyer Yadia Zaman issued the notice.

Mentioning that the legal notice had been sent to the home secretary by a registered post, Yadia Zaman told Prothom Alo that a notice has been issued for the forensic review of the call record.

Legal action will be taken later if no visible action is taken on the issue mentioned in the notice.
