Detectives sealed off the press, shutdown IT facilities and detained four journalists raiding The Daily Inqilab office in the capital this evening.
The four arrested journalists of the Bangla daily are: Robiullah Robi, news editor, Rafique Mohammad, deputy chief reporter, Ahmed Atique, diplomatic correspondent, and Afzal Bari, senior reporter, Masudur Rahman, deputy commissioner (media) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, told The Daily Star.
The law enforcers also shutdown the main server room and seized three computers in the 2-hour-long drive that ended around 10:15pm, the police official said.
Earlier police filed a case against the editor, publisher, chief news editor and a reporter of the newspaper for publishing a report titled, "Indian army assist joint force operation in Satkhira".
In a press statement, the foreign ministry protested against any such news saying the news was false and fabricated. The ministry also urged the people not to be misled by such misinformation.
At least 25 detectives conducted the drive at The Daily Inqilab office following a case under Information and Communication Technology Act.
