Bangladeshi content creator Ashraful Alam, popularly known as Hero Alam, was arrested on Saturday (15 November) in connection with an attempted murder case filed by his former wife, Ria Moni. The arrest took place around 2:30 PM at his private establishment in the Rampura area of Dhaka by officers from the Hatirjheel Police Station.

The arrest was confirmed by Md. Ibne Mizan, Deputy Commissioner of the Tejgaon Division of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP). He stated that the case was initially filed on 23 June at the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court in Dhaka, accusing Hero Alam of attempted murder, physical assault, and intimidation. Another individual, Ahsan Habib Selim, has also been named as a defendant in the case.

Subsequently, on 12 November, the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Wahiduzzaman issued an arrest warrant against Hero Alam. Acting on this warrant, police apprehended him and sent him to the court.

According to the case details, tensions arose between Hero Alam and Ria Moni following a personal dispute, leading to their separation. Hero Alam reportedly divorced Ria and asked her to leave their residence. On 21 June, Ria was reportedly called to a house under the pretext of reconciliation with her family. It is alleged that Hero Alam, along with 10–12 unidentified individuals, verbally abused Ria and her family members at the location.

The complaint further states that the group forcibly entered Ria’s current residence and assaulted her with wooden sticks, causing serious injuries to her head and other parts of her body. The case also mentions that a 1.5-tola gold chain was stolen during the incident.

The arrest highlights ongoing legal proceedings in high-profile personal dispute cases in Dhaka, reflecting increased police enforcement following court-issued warrants.
