Bangladeshi Singer Hero Alom Arrested By Police, Asked To Cease Singing Renditions; Here's Why

An out-of-tune Bangladeshi singer with a huge internet following was hauled in by police at dawn and told to cease his painful renditions of classical songs, sparking a furore on social media.
"Hero" Alom, as he styles himself, has amassed nearly two million Facebook followers and almost 1.5 million on YouTube with his unique crooning style and arresting, raunchy videos.

One of his numbers, "Arabian Song", in which he appears in traditional Arab clothing on a sand dune with camels superimposed in the background, has garnered 17 million views.

But he has also drawn critics' scorn, particularly for versions of classic songs of two beloved national treasures -- Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore and Bangladesh's national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam.

He must sue Bangladeshi police seeking appropriate direction and damages as well. The case shows utter violation of human rights and dignity of a man. No law in the world can permits such police brutality

আমরাই শুধু বুঝতে পারলাম না, হিরো আলমের মুচলেকা নিয়ে যে সমালোচনার ঝড়োহাওয়া বইছে, তাতে করে হিরো আলমকে হিরোর চেয়ে আরও অনেক বড় মাপের হিরো বানিয়েছে বৈকি।

Am so glad to hear they have arrested him The damage he has done to the average person ears is unforgivable. People are emigrating because of him. He is like the CACOFONIX character in Asterix the Gaul.
