Detectives have been tasked with the investigation of a case filed against Prothom Alo senior reporter Rozina Islam, who is in jail now.
Ramna Division, Detective Branch of Police is now investigating the case as it was handed over to them this morning, Mamun ur Rashid, officer-in-charge of Shahbagh Police Station, told The Daily Star.
Rozina was confined to the health ministry inside the Secretariat for more than five hours before being handed over to Shahbagh Police Station on Monday night.
Later, the law enforcers said she was arrested in a case filed by Shibbir Ahmed Osmani, deputy secretary of the ministry's health services division.
Her colleagues alleged that she was falsely implicated in the case as her reports revealed corruption and irregularities of some ministry officials.
Fellow journalists across the country have been protesting her arrest, demanding immediate release.
