Elias Hossain, a Bangladeshi YouTuber living in New York, was arrested by police in Staten Island on Sunday morning. Hossain, a controversial former journalist, was apprehended based on a wanted notice issued by the 113th Precinct of the New York Police Department, reports bdnews24.com. This development follows offensive videos posted by Elias about Milton's sister, Nira Rabbani, a joint convenor of the BNP's overseas unit in New York State, and her daughter, Prema Rabbani. In response to the videos, the NYPD issued a Desk Appearance Ticket (DAT) to Elias after he surrendered on 1 February. However, police launched a search operation for him as he continued to post videos with offensive remarks about Nira and Prema.
