Content creator Ashraful Alam, popularly known as Hero Alam, has been arrested in connection with an attempted murder case filed by his former wife, Ria Moni. He was taken into custody on Saturday (15 November) around 2:30 pm from his private office in Rampura, Dhaka, by police from the Hatirjheel Police Station.
The arrest was confirmed by Md. Ibne Mizan, Deputy Commissioner of Tejgaon Division, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP). According to him, Ria Moni filed the case at the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court in Dhaka on 23 June, accusing Hero Alam of attempted murder, assault, and intimidation. Another individual, Ahsan Habib Selim, has also been named as an accused in the case.
Subsequently, on 12 November, the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Wahiduzzaman issued an arrest warrant against Hero Alam. Acting on this warrant, police apprehended him and sent him to court.
According to the case statement, tensions arose between Hero Alam and Ria Moni, leading him to divorce her and evict her from their residence. On 21 June, Ria Moni was allegedly called to a house by Hero Alam under the pretext of resolving family matters. At that location, Hero Alam, along with 10–12 unidentified individuals, reportedly verbally abused Ria and her family members.
The complaint further alleges that the accused later forcibly entered Ria Moni’s current residence and assaulted her with wooden sticks, targeting her head and other parts of her body, causing serious injuries. The case also mentions that a gold chain weighing one and a half tolas was stolen during the incident.
The case remains under investigation by the Hatirjheel Police, with further legal proceedings expected following Hero Alam’s arrest.
