Subrata Adhikari Shuvo, a blogger, was arrested by Bangladeshi authorities after being accused of making "inflammatory" comments on religion.
Subrata Adhikari Shuvo, a 24-year-old Bangladeshi blogger and master's student in university, was arrested on accusations of blasphemy in April 2013. His arrest, along with those of Mashiur Rahman Biplob and Rasel Parvez, was the first to occur after the establishment of "a government committee to combat online blasphemy" the previous month. This came, also, in the wake of recent attacks on bloggers Asif Mohiuddin and Ahmed Rajib Haider, the latter of whom did not survive.
A court soon ordered that Subrata, along with Mashiur and Rasel, be held in pre-trial detention for their comments which had "hurt religious sentiments of the people." The ultimate outcome of their cases is unclear.

Blasphemy law in Bangladesh allows the state to arrest, trial and imprison any person who has intention of hurting "religious sentiments." While the state does not have any law against apostasy, vigilantism or non-state groups prosecute apostates on their own. Vigilante violence has been an especially acute issue, most notably in the mid-2010s when a string of secularist and atheist bloggers suffered murder and attempted murder at the hands of Islamist extremists.
