People have been allowed to lodge complaints or make suggestions online three months after the telecom regulator formed a special team to fight cyber crime.
"The team is receiving complaints or suggestions at contact@csirt.gov.bd from this morning. Each deserving complaint will be investigated at once followed by prompt response," said chief of the team, Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT), BTRC vice-chairman Giasuddin Ahmed on Sunday.
Bangladesh Telecommunications Regulatory Commission constituted the 11-strong team on Jan 25 to detect websites that contain contemptuous content about the state and society, politics and religion.
"Web pages found to be committing serious crime would be shut down tight away. If the offence is not serious, one will be cautioned. If unheeded, the web page will also be blocked," CSIRT chief Ahmed added.
He said action would be taken against all criminals in accordance with the law already in force.
A web page on cyber crime will also be launched to raise public awareness about the issue, the BTRC vice-chairman added.
BTRC blocked five pages on social networking website Facebook and another website after a court ordered for the action over an allegation that those were hurting the religious sentiment.
Earlier, a university teacher was jailed for posting a comment on Facebook wishing the death for prime minister Sheikh Hasina. The teacher was tried in absentia as he has been living in Australia for higher studies.
Law provides jail term from two to five years and a fine between Tk 5 lakh and Tk 5 crore for cyber crime.
