You may be familiar with people who resort to cheap tactics, which include throwing around their father’s names and titles to get their way. This practice is very common in Bangladesh, where altercations between people on public transportation are an everyday occurrence. After boarding a bus from Jatrabari to Farmgate, Hamidur Rahman was outraged by the price his ride would cost him. According to the penal code under section 500, a case may be filed against Hamidur on charges of defamation. Reporting such criminal offences is rare and Ripon has not seen any such cases filed yet.
