Daily Inqilab says sorry

The authorities of Bangla newspaper The Daily Inqilab yesterday regretted publishing a report on Thursday on Indian forces' participation in operations in Satkhira.
The newspaper on its website uploaded a notice headlined: "We are sorry."
Quoting the editor of the daily, the notice also reads: "While publishing these types of sensitive news items, (the newspaper) should be more careful so that such kind of repetition do not take place."
“It is our request to the readers not to make any statement which goes against religion and the state, and to abstain from any kind of provocative statement,” the notice added, claiming that the newspaper had always been respectful to the constitution and public opinion.
On Thursday night, detectives raided the newspaper's office on the capital's RK Mission Road, rounded up three newsmen, seized three computers, and sealed off the press and server rooms for publishing false news on Indian forces' participation in operations conducted by joint forces in the violence-hit Satkhira district.
The move against the Bangla daily came hours after Sub-inspector Jahangir Alam of Wari Police Station lodged a case under the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Act and the penal code, accusing Inqilab Editor AMM Bahauddin and three other journalists.
They have been accused of running a “baseless” report on Thursday, claiming that Indian forces had taken part in operations in Satkhira ahead of the January 5 parliamentary polls.
The three newsmen -- News Editor Rabiullah Rabi, Deputy Chief Reporter Rafiq Mohammad, and Diplomatic Correspondent Ahmed Atique -- were sent to jail on Friday.
