Infamous singer Arfin Rumey has been creating one controversy after another, including getting arrested and posting obscene pictures on Facebook.
A video of Rumey mocking himself went viral on YouTube and Facebook hours after he got bail on Sunday for domestic violence charges.
In the one minute video, he questioned the legitimacy of his birth. The video contained his exact statements, though many vulgar expressions were bleeped out.
The footage was uploaded to YouTube on October 13, but it could not be confirmed whether Rumey uploaded it or someone else did.
From the quality of the footage, it looks like it was recorded on a mobile phone. Facebook commenters speculate it may have been recorded by Rumey himself, given the angle of the camera.
The release of the video has caused further embarrassment for Arfin Rumey fans.
Rumey is a member of the band Durbin and performs solo as well. He received the Uro CJFB Performance Award for his album Esho Na in 2009 and the Binodon-Bichitra Best Composer Award in 2010.
Police on Saturday morning arrested singer Arfin Rumey on allegations of domestic abuse.
According to the case statement, Rumey often tortured first wife Ananya for dowry. He has faced considerable criticism for taking a second wife without Ananya’s consent.
Ananya filed a case against him with the Mohammadpur police station on Friday night. Mahmudul Hasan, sub-inspector of Mohammadpur police station, confirmed the news with the Dhaka Tribune.
