ETV sues Mitford director, 4 interns
Private-run Ekushey Television (ETV) authorities have filed a case against director and four interns of Mitford Hospital on charges of assaulting its three reporters and three videographers.
ETV director Md Zahidul Islam filed the case with the Chief Metropolitan Court of Dhaka today.
Mitford Hospital director Brig Md Zakir Hasan and four interns -- Shahin, Shaon, Soaib and Naim – have been made accused of attacking ETV newsmen, smashing their cameras, snatching mobile phones and money, and issuing death threat.
Hearing the petitions, Metropolitan Magistrate Keshob Roy Chowdhury asked Detective Branch of Police to submit a report by May 11 after investigation.
The interns at the hospital on April 19 beat up three reporters and three videographers of the private television channel and smashed their two cameras on the hospital premises when they went to report on alleged 'negligence' at Mitford Hospital.
Initially, the hospital director told media that the interns had attacked them for filming and interviewing patients without obtaining any permission from the authorities.
