Telephone Tapping in Bangladesh

Abstract

Advanced technology is now within reach of everyone, due to which the number of online crimes is increasing day by day. The protection of personal information is very important because it is used for terrorist activities. Eavesdropping on the phone is a big crime all over the world. Under Bangladeshi law, eavesdropping on someone's phone is a punishable offense. The Constitution of Bangladesh places the exchange and communication of personal information of citizens on the list of fundamental rights and gives the state the responsibility to protect it. There is ambiguity in the law of Bangladesh regarding eavesdropping and phone conversations. In recent time we see a lot of political telephone conversation of the opposite party has been published on the internet in Bangladesh. The ruling party took advantage of the phone call conversation scandal.
