A Dhaka court yesterday granted bail to AMM Bahauddin, editor and publisher of the daily Inqilab, in a case filed over publishing a false report on the law enforcers’ drive in Satkhira.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate SM Ashiqur Rahman passed the order on Tk10,000 bond when Bahauddin surrendered before the court with a bail petition.
On February 20, another Dhaka court granted bail to Inqilab’s News Editor Rabiulla Ulla Robi, Deputy Chief Reporter Rafiq Mohammad and Diplomatic Correspondent Ahmed Atik in the case.
Police arrested the three on January 16, seized various items at the newspaper office and sealed off its press. However, the press was later unsealed and the seized items were returned. The raid was conducted after a case had been filed alleging that the daily published a fake and fabricated report on January 16.
