Tayani Md Risad, 25, and Islam Sahedul, 37, were investigated separately in July, an ISD spokeswoman said, The Straits Times reported.
Risad's posts expressed support for Shafiur Rahman Farabi, a Bangladeshi Islamist blogger who spent a decade in prison over the murder of a writer he had spent years threatening online.
Dhaka's Anti-Terrorism Special Tribunal sentenced Farabi to life imprisonment on Feb. 16, 2021 for the machete killing of Bangladeshi-American blogger Avijit Roy, hacked to death outside a Dhaka book fair in 2015. Five members of Ansar al-Islam were sentenced to death in the same verdict.
Bangladesh's Rapid Action Battalion named Farabi a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, banned in the country since October 2009. He left Kashimpur High Security Central Jail on Aug. 22, 2025 on High Court bail, The Business Standard reported.
Sahedul made inflammatory posts about the Israel-Iran conflict and described Muslims who do not want to live under Islamic law as infidels, the ISD said.
