Bangladeshi singer known for tuneless singing arrested after complaints over songs - BBC News

Police in Bangladesh have been criticised after arresting singer Hero Alom, who's become famous for singing out of tune.

Officers made a dawn raid at a house in Dhaka, and the singer says he felt ”singled out” after being told not to sing classical songs.

There is no such thing as bad publicity. This has just made him global.

I am a Bangladeshi and I'm laughing out loud seeing these. 😂😂
And yeah it's never justified to arrest him for singing. He has his rights. And yeah police in Bangladesh is somewhat like Gestapo or whatever the German police was.

জীবনটাই বৃথা গেল আমার... আন্তর্জাতিক কেন, দেশী সংবাদ মাধ্যমেও কখনো নিজেকে দেখতে পারিনি। হায় আফসোস!

বাংলাদেশী সাংবাদিকরা হিরো আলমকে কদর করতে পারেনি। কিন্তু আন্তর্জাতিক সাংবাদিকরা ঠিকই চিনছে 😊

Seems like it's everywhere in the world that police wants to arrest people doing harmless, mildly irritating stuff but will gladly leave serious crime alone because, well, too dangerous.

দেখো অবস্থা আমাদের হিরো ভাই 😀 বাংলাদেশকে বিশ্বের দরবারে রিপ্রেজেন্ট করার জন্য ধন্যবাদ জানাচ্ছি হিরো ভাইকে।

He makes millions smile with joy and I don't see any vulgarity in his videos. So he is definitely doing a better job than most bollywood directors

[kelpjuice]

this goes to show how active our policemen are. Going after harmless creators while letting go of big name offenders

I’m not a big fan of the sound, but at least the man is humble enough to admit he’s not the best at singing. I hope he can continue to express himself freely without further government intervention. This is a right every human on this planet deserves, provided it’s not harming anyone else.

হিরো আলম ভাই তোকে আন্তর্জাতিক গনমাধ্যমে দেখানা হল।তুই সত্যি হিরো।

আমাদের বগুড়ার হিরো আলম আন্তর্জাতিক গণমাধ্যমের শিরোনাম হয়ে আবারও প্রমাণ করে দিলো সবার হাসিরর খোরাক হলেও আসলে সে "রিয়াল হিরো" 💓💞 We Love From Bogura Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

Copyright infringement, I understand, but arresting someone for singing a popular song poorly is an abuse of police resources.

[lexruptor]

This is so messed up. Like, he's an artist, regardless of how niche his talent may be, and deserves respect.

এখন সে সারা বিশ্বে পরিচিতি পেলো সে আসলে legend

[letmetasteu]

The energy he possess and release during his singing, I can feel it through my blood vein🦸‍♀️

[tanvchem]

Damn!! He bring his tuneless international level. People made fun of him he get paid from them.

[immohon]

বাংলাদেশের কে কে এই news টা দেখেছো?😁😁 Who has seen this news in Bangladesh?

[zahidhasan]

আমাদের পুলিশ ভাইরা কষ্ট পাইছে,
